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

2 Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defense: I shall not be greatly moved.

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

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 imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall [shall ye be], [and as] 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 only consult to cast [him] down from his excellence: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

5 Yea, in God hope in silence, my soul; for from him is my expectation.

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

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

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

7 With God are my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength [and] my protection are in God.

In God [is] my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, [and] my refuge, [is] in 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 heart before him: God [is] a refuge for us. (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.

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.

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, and become not vain in robbery: 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.

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

12 And unto thee, O Lord, belongeth kindness; for thou wilt recompense every man according to his works.

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