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.
“For the leader of the music of the Jeduthunites, A psalm of David.” Truly my soul resteth on God alone; From him cometh my deliverance!
2 Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defense: I shall not be greatly moved.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my safeguard, I shall not wholly fall!
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 will ye continue to assault a single man? How long will ye all seek to destroy me, Like a bending wall, or a tottering fence?
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)
They study how to cast me down from my eminence; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse.
5 Yea, in God hope in silence, my soul; for from him is my expectation.
My soul, rest thou on God alone, For from him cometh my hope!
6 Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defence: I shall not be moved.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my safeguard, —I shall not fall.
7 With God are my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength [and] my protection are in God.
From God cometh my help and my glory: My strong rock, my refuge, is God.
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 at all times, ye people! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our refuge!
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.
Truly men of low degree are vanity, And men of high degree are a lie; Placed in the balance, They are all lighter than vanity.
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 extortion; Place no vain hopes in rapine! If riches increase, set not your heart upon them!
11 Once hath God spoken; [yea, ] twice [what] I have heard: that strength belongeth unto God.
Once hath God promised, twice have I heard it, That power belongeth unto God.
12 And unto thee, O Lord, belongeth kindness; for thou wilt recompense every man according to his works.
To thee also, O Lord! belongeth mercy; For thou dost render to every man according to his work!
