Psalms 62

1 TO THE OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF DAVID. Toward God alone [is] my soul silent, My salvation [is] from Him.

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From him [cometh] my salvation.

2 He alone [is] my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved.

He only is my rock and my salvation: [He is] my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

3 Until when do you devise mischief against a man? All of you are destroyed, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.

How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay [him], all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 Only—from his excellence They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, they bless with their mouth, And revile with their heart. (Selah)

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

5 For God alone, be silent, O my soul, For my hope [is] from Him.

My soul, wait thou in silence for God only; For my expectation is from him.

6 He alone [is] my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.

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

7 On God [is] my salvation, and my glory, The rock of my strength, my refuge [is] in God.

With 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 people, Pour forth 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 vanity the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up They [are] lighter than a breath.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.

10 Do not trust in oppression, And do not become vain in robbery, Do not set the heart [on] wealth when it increases.

Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart [thereon].

11 Once has God spoken, twice I heard this, That “strength [is] with God.”

God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God.

12 And with You, O Lord, [is] kindness, For You repay to each, According to his work!

Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness; For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
