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 end, a Psalm of David for Idithun. Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation.

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

For he is my God, and my saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved very much.

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 assault a man? ye are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge.

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 took counsel to set at nought mine honour: I ran in thirst: with their mouth they blessed, but with their heart they cursed. (Pause)

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

Nevertheless do thou, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him [is] my patient hope.

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

For he [is] my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be 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: [he is] the God of my help, and my hope 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)

Hope in him, all ye congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. (Pause)

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

But the sons of men are vain; the sons of men are false, so as to be deceitful in the balances; they are all alike [formed] out of 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 unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it.

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

God has spoken once, [and] I have heard these two things, that power is of God;

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

and mercy is thine, O Lord; for thou wilt recompense every one according to his works.
