Psalms 62

1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.

TO THE OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF DAVID. Toward God alone [is] my soul silent, My salvation [is] from Him.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

He alone [is] my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved.

3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

Until when do you devise mischief against a man? All of you are destroyed, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.

4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

Only—from his excellence They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, they bless with their mouth, And revile with their heart. (Selah)

5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

For God alone, be silent, O my soul, For my hope [is] from Him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

He alone [is] my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.

7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

On God [is] my salvation, and my glory, The rock of my strength, my refuge [is] in God.

8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth your heart before Him, God [is] a refuge for us. (Selah)

9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

Surely vanity the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up They [are] lighter than a breath.

10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

Do not trust in oppression, And do not become vain in robbery, Do not set the heart [on] wealth when it increases.

11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

Once has God spoken, twice I heard this, That “strength [is] with God.”

12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

And with You, O Lord, [is] kindness, For You repay to each, According to his work!
