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 excelletn musician Ieduthun. A Psalme of David. Yet my soule keepeth silence vnto God: of him commeth my saluation.

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

Yet he is my strength and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not much be mooued.

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 wil ye imagine mischiefe against a man? ye shalbe all slaine: ye shalbe as a bowed wall, or as a wall shaken.

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)

Yet they consult to cast him downe from his dignitie: their delight is in lies, they blesse with their mouthes, but curse with their hearts. (Selah)

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

Yet my soule keepe thou silence vnto God: for mine hope is in him.

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

Yet is hee my strength, and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not be mooued.

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

In God is my saluation and my glory, the rocke of my strength: in God is my trust.

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 alway, ye people: powre out your hearts before him, for God is our hope. (Selah)

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

Yet the children of men are vanitie, the chiefe men are lies: to lay them vpon a balance they are altogether lighter then vanitie.

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 nor in robberie: be not vaine: if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

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

God spake once or twise, I haue heard it, that power belongeth vnto God,

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

And to thee, O Lord, mercie: for thou rewardest euery one according to his worke.
