Psalms 62

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

For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; from Him cometh my salvation.

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

He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be greatly 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.

How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may slay him, all of you, as a leaning wall, 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)

They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

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

Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul; for from Him cometh my hope.

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

He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, 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.

Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and 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, ye people; pour out 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.

Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; if they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.

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

Trust not in oppression, and put not vain hope in robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

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

God hath spoken once, twice have I heard this: that strength belongeth unto God;

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

Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; for Thou renderest to every man according to his work.
