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 chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him [cometh] 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 defence; 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 ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall [shall ye 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 thou only upon 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 defence; 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; [ye] 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 [upon them].
11 One thing, hath God spoken, Two things, [there are] which I have heard, That, power, belongeth unto God;
God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power [belongeth] unto God.
12 And, thine, O My Lord, is lovingkindness, —For, thou, wilt pay back unto every man—according to his deed.
Also unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
