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:

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

2 Surely, he, is my rock and my salvation, My high tower—I shall not be greatly shaken!

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

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 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 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)

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

5 Surely, towards God, be thou silent, my soul, For, from him, is mine expectation:

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

6 Surely, he, is my rock, and my salvation, My high tower—I shall not be shaken!

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

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)

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

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.

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 Do not trust in extortion, Nor, with robbery, become vain, As for wealth, when it beareth fruit, Do not set [thereon your] heart.

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 One thing, hath God spoken, Two things, [there are] which I have heard, That, power, belongeth unto God;

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

12 And, thine, O My Lord, is lovingkindness, —For, thou, wilt pay back unto every man—according to his deed.

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