< Psalms 62 >
1 “To the chief musician, upon Jeduthun, a psalm of David.” Only in God my soul trusted in silence: from him cometh my salvation.
To the excelletn musician Ieduthun. A Psalme of David. Yet my soule keepeth silence vnto God: of him commeth my saluation.
2 Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defense: I shall not be greatly moved.
Yet he is my strength and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not much be mooued.
3 How long will ye devise mischief against a man? will ye all assault him murderously, as though he were a falling wall, a tottering fence?
How long wil ye imagine mischiefe against a man? ye shalbe all slaine: ye shalbe as a bowed wall, or as a wall shaken.
4 Yea, from his height do they take counsel to cast [him] down; they delight in lies: with their mouth do they bless, but inwardly do they curse. (Selah)
Yet they consult to cast him downe from his dignitie: their delight is in lies, they blesse with their mouthes, but curse with their hearts. (Selah)
5 Yea, in God hope in silence, my soul; for from him is my expectation.
Yet my soule keepe thou silence vnto God: for mine hope is in him.
6 Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defence: I shall not be moved.
Yet is hee my strength, and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not be mooued.
7 With God are my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength [and] my protection are in God.
In God is my saluation and my glory, the rocke of my strength: in God is my trust.
8 Trust in him at all times, O ye people; pour out before him your heart: God is a protection for us. (Selah)
Trust in him alway, ye people: powre out your hearts before him, for God is our hope. (Selah)
9 Verily nought are the sons of common men, a lie the sons of the great; they must rise in the balance; they are altogether [lighter] than nought.
Yet the children of men are vanitie, the chiefe men are lies: to lay them vpon a balance they are altogether lighter then vanitie.
10 Do not put your trust in defrauding, and be not rendered vain through robbery: if riches flourish, set not your heart [upon them].
Trust not in oppression nor in robberie: be not vaine: if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
11 Once hath God spoken; [yea, ] twice [what] I have heard: that strength belongeth unto God.
God spake once or twise, I haue heard it, that power belongeth vnto God,
12 And unto thee, O Lord, belongeth kindness; for thou wilt recompense every man according to his works.
And to thee, O Lord, mercie: for thou rewardest euery one according to his worke.
