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. Toward God alone [is] my soul silent, My salvation [is] from Him.

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

He alone [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?

Until when do you devise mischief against a man? All of you are destroyed, 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 excellence They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, they bless with their mouth, And revile with their heart. (Selah)

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

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

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

He alone [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 glory, 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 your heart before Him, 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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