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 musician, upon Jeduthun, a psalm of David.” Only in God my soul trusted in silence: from him cometh my salvation.

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

Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defense: 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 devise mischief against a man? will ye all assault him murderously, as though he were a falling wall, 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)

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)

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

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

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

Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defence: 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 are my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength [and] my protection are 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, O ye people; pour out before him your heart: God is a protection for us. (Selah)

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

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.

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

Do not put your trust in defrauding, and be not rendered vain through robbery: if riches flourish, set not your heart [upon them].

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

Once hath God spoken; [yea, ] twice [what] I have heard: that strength belongeth unto God.

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

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