Psalms 62

1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him [cometh] my salvation.

Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Will my soul not be subject to God? For from him is my salvation.

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

Yes, he himself is my God and my salvation. He is my supporter; I will be moved no more.

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.

How is it that you rush against a man? Every one of you puts to death, as if you were pulling down a ruined wall, leaning over and falling apart.

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)

So, truly, they intended to reject my price. I ran in thirst. They blessed with their mouth and cursed with their heart.

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

Yet, truly, my soul will be subject to God. For from him is my patience.

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

For he is my God and my Savior. He is my helper; I will not be expelled.

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

In God is my salvation and my glory. He is the God of my help, and my hope 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)

All peoples gathered together: trust in him. Pour out your hearts in his sight. God is our helper for eternity.

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.

So, truly, the sons of men are untrustworthy. The sons of men are liars in the scales, so that, by emptiness, they may deceive among themselves.

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

Do not trust in iniquity, and do not desire plunder. If riches flow toward you, do not be willing to set your heart on them.

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

God has spoken once. I have heard two things: that power belongs to God,

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

and that mercy belongs to you, O Lord. For you will repay each one according to his works.
