Psalms 62

1 [For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthan. A Psalm by David.] My soul rests in God alone, for my salvation is from him.

To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. — A Psalm of David. Only — toward God [is] my soul silent, From Him [is] my salvation.

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

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

3 How long will you assault a man, would all of you throw him down, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are destroyed all of you, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.

4 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)

Only — from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. (Selah)

5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

Only — for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him [is] my hope.

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

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

7 With God is my salvation and my honor. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

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

8 Trust in him at all times, O people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

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

9 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.

Only — vanity [are] the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity [are] lighter.

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

Trust not in oppression, And in robbery become not vain, Wealth — when it increaseth — set not the heart.

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

Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That 'strength [is] with God.'

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

And with Thee, O Lord, [is] kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!
