< Psalms 62 >

1 For the end, a Psalm of David for Idithun. Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation.
To the Chief Musician. On Jeduthun—A Melody of David. Surely, towards God, silence [becometh] my soul, From him, is my salvation:
2 For he is my God, and my savior; my helper, I shall not be moved very much.
Surely, he, is my rock and my salvation, My high tower—I shall not be greatly shaken!
3 How long will you assault a man? you are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge.
How long will ye shout at a man? Ye shall be crushed all of you, —Like a wall that bulgeth, —a fence pushed in!
4 They only took counsel to set at nothing mine honor: I ran in thirst: with their mouth they blessed, but with their heart they cursed. (Pause)
Surely, from his elevation, they have taken counsel to thrust him down, They accept falsehood, —With his mouth, they each of them bless, But, inwardly, they revile. (Selah)
5 Nevertheless do you, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him [is] my patient hope.
Surely, towards God, be thou silent, my soul, For, from him, is mine expectation:
6 For he [is] my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved.
Surely, he, is my rock, and my salvation, My high tower—I shall not be shaken!
7 In God [is] my salvation and my glory: [he is] the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
Upon God, [depend] my salvation and mine honour, My rock of strength, my refuge, are in God.
8 Hope in him, all you congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. (Pause)
Trust ye in him all ye assembly of the people, Pour out, before him, your heart, God, is a refuge for us. (Selah)
9 But the sons of men are vain; the sons of men are false, so as to be deceitful in the balances; they are all alike [formed] out of vanity.
Surely, vanity, are men of low degree, Deception, men of high degree, —In the balances, they go up, They, are [made] of vanity, altogether.
10 Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it.
Do not trust in extortion, Nor, with robbery, become vain, As for wealth, when it beareth fruit, Do not set [thereon your] heart.
11 God has spoken once, [and] I have heard these two things, that power is of God;
One thing, hath God spoken, Two things, [there are] which I have heard, That, power, belongeth unto God;
12 and mercy is your, O Lord; for you will recompense every one according to his works.
And, thine, O My Lord, is lovingkindness, —For, thou, wilt pay back unto every man—according to his deed.
