Psalms 62
1 To the Chief Musician. On Jeduthun—A Melody of David. Surely, towards God, silence [becometh] my soul, From him, is my salvation:
For the end, a Psalm of David for Idithun. Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation.
2 Surely, he, is my rock and my salvation, My high tower—I shall not be greatly shaken!
For he is my God, and my saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved very much.
3 How long will ye shout at a man? Ye shall be crushed all of you, —Like a wall that bulgeth, —a fence pushed in!
How long will ye assault a man? ye are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge.
4 Surely, from his elevation, they have taken counsel to thrust him down, They accept falsehood, —With his mouth, they each of them bless, But, inwardly, they revile. (Selah)
They only took counsel to set at nought mine honour: I ran in thirst: with their mouth they blessed, but with their heart they cursed. (Pause)
5 Surely, towards God, be thou silent, my soul, For, from him, is mine expectation:
Nevertheless do thou, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him [is] my patient hope.
6 Surely, he, is my rock, and my salvation, My high tower—I shall not be shaken!
For he [is] my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved.
7 Upon God, [depend] my salvation and mine honour, My rock of strength, my refuge, are 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 ye in him all ye assembly of the people, Pour out, before him, your heart, God, is a refuge for us. (Selah)
Hope in him, all ye congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. (Pause)
9 Surely, vanity, are men of low degree, Deception, men of high degree, —In the balances, they go up, They, are [made] of vanity, altogether.
But the sons of men are vain; the sons of men are false, so as to be deceitful in the balances; they are all alike [formed] out of vanity.
10 Do not trust in extortion, Nor, with robbery, become vain, As for wealth, when it beareth fruit, Do not set [thereon your] heart.
Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it.
11 One thing, hath God spoken, Two things, [there are] which I have heard, That, power, belongeth unto God;
God has spoken once, [and] I have heard these two things, that power is of God;
12 And, thine, O My Lord, is lovingkindness, —For, thou, wilt pay back unto every man—according to his deed.
and mercy is thine, O Lord; for thou wilt recompense every one according to his works.
