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 Idithun, a psalm of David. Shall not my soul 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.

For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall 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 long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.

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)

But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.

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

But be thou, O my soul, 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 saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.

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)

Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.

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.

But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.

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

Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.

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

God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,

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

And mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
