Psalms 62

1 For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. My soul waiteth only upon God: from him [cometh] my salvation.

Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Will my soul not be subject to God? For from him is my salvation.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation: [he is] my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

Yes, he himself is my God and my salvation. He is my supporter; I will be moved no more.

3 How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may slay [him], all of you, like a bowing wall, like a tottering fence?

How is it that you rush against a man? Every one of you puts to death, as if you were pulling down a ruined wall, leaning over and falling apart.

4 They only consult to thrust him down from his excellency; they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

So, truly, they intended to reject my price. I ran in thirst. They blessed with their mouth and cursed with their heart.

5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

Yet, truly, my soul will be subject to God. For from him is my patience.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation: [he is] my high tower; I shall not be moved.

For he is my God and my Savior. He is my helper; I will not be expelled.

7 With God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

In God is my salvation and my glory. He is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.

8 Trust in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

All peoples gathered together: trust in him. Pour out your hearts in his sight. God is our helper for eternity.

9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: in the balances they will go up; they are together lighter than vanity.

So, truly, the sons of men are untrustworthy. The sons of men are liars in the scales, so that, by emptiness, they may deceive among themselves.

10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart [thereon].

Do not trust in iniquity, and do not desire plunder. If riches flow toward you, do not be willing to set your heart on them.

11 God hath spoken once, twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God:

God has spoken once. I have heard two things: that power belongs to God,

12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

and that mercy belongs to you, O Lord. For you will repay each one according to his works.
