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. To Jeduthan. A Psalm by David.] My soul rests in God alone, for my salvation is from him.

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

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress—I will never be upended.

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 assault a man, would all of you throw him down, 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 fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. 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 in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

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

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be upended.

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 honor. 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, O 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 just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter 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.

Do not trust in oppression. Do not become vain in robbery. If riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

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

God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

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

Also to you, LORD, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
