< 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:
To the excelletn musician Ieduthun. A Psalme of David. Yet my soule keepeth silence vnto God: of him commeth my saluation.
2 Surely, he, is my rock and my salvation, My high tower—I shall not be greatly shaken!
Yet he is my strength and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not much be mooued.
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 wil ye imagine mischiefe against a man? ye shalbe all slaine: ye shalbe as a bowed wall, or as a wall shaken.
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)
Yet they consult to cast him downe from his dignitie: their delight is in lies, they blesse with their mouthes, but curse with their hearts. (Selah)
5 Surely, towards God, be thou silent, my soul, For, from him, is mine expectation:
Yet my soule keepe thou silence vnto God: for mine hope is in him.
6 Surely, he, is my rock, and my salvation, My high tower—I shall not be shaken!
Yet is hee my strength, and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not be mooued.
7 Upon God, [depend] my salvation and mine honour, My rock of strength, my refuge, are in God.
In God is my saluation and my glory, the rocke of my strength: in God is my trust.
8 Trust ye in him all ye assembly of the people, Pour out, before him, your heart, God, is a refuge for us. (Selah)
Trust in him alway, ye people: powre out your hearts before him, for God is our hope. (Selah)
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.
Yet the children of men are vanitie, the chiefe men are lies: to lay them vpon a balance they are altogether lighter then vanitie.
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 oppression nor in robberie: be not vaine: if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
11 One thing, hath God spoken, Two things, [there are] which I have heard, That, power, belongeth unto God;
God spake once or twise, I haue heard it, that power belongeth vnto God,
12 And, thine, O My Lord, is lovingkindness, —For, thou, wilt pay back unto every man—according to his deed.
And to thee, O Lord, mercie: for thou rewardest euery one according to his worke.
