Psalms 62

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

To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. A Psalm. Of David. My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes 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 will 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 you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?

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)

Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (Selah)

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

My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my hope.

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 will not be greatly moved.

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

In God is my salvation, and my glory; the Rock of my strength, and my safe place.

8 Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth your heart before Him, God [is] a refuge for us. (Selah)

Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah)

9 Surely vanity the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up They [are] lighter than a breath.

Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath.

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

Have no faith in the rewards of evil-doing, or in profits wrongly made: if your wealth is increased, do not put your hopes on it.

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

Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's:

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

And mercy, O Lord, is yours, for you give to every man the reward of his work.
