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:

Truly my soul waits on God: from him comes my salvation.

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

He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.

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 you imagine mischief against a man? you shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall you be, and as a tottering fence.

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

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

My soul, wait you only on God; for my expectation is from him.

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

He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defense; 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: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, 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)

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

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than 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 oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not 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; twice have I heard this; 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.

Also to you, O Lord, belongs mercy: for you render to every man according to his work.
