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.

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

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

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?

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 only consult to thrust him down from his excellency; 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 thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

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

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

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

7 With God is my salvation and my glory: 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, ye 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 vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: in the balances they will go up; they are together lighter than vanity.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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