Psalms 62

1 To the choirmaster on Jeduthun a psalm of David. Only [is] with God silence being my [is] from him salvation my.

For the leader. On jeduthun. A psalm of David. I wait alone in silence for God; From him comes my help.

2 Only he [is] rock my and salvation my refuge my not I will be shaken much.

Yes, he is my rock, my help, my retreat, I shall not be shaken too sorely.

3 Until when? - will you attack on a person you will be murdered all of you like a wall bent down a fence pushed down.

How long will you, all of you, batter a man, as one might a leaning wall?

4 Surely from loftiness his - they have planned to thrust [him] down they are pleased with falsehood with mouth his they bless and in inner being their they curse (Selah)

From his height they are planning to topple him. They take pleasure in falsehood; they bless with their mouth, but inwardly they curse. (Selah)

5 Only to God be silent O self my for that [is] from him hope my.

I wait alone in silence for God; for from him comes my hope.

6 Only he [is] rock my and salvation my refuge my not I will be shaken.

Yes, he is my rock, my help, my retreat, I shall not be shaken too sorely.

7 [is] on God salvation my and honor my [the] rock of strength my refuge my [is] in God.

On God rests my honor and safety, in God is my strong rock, my refuge.

8 Trust in him at every time - O people pour out before him heart your God [is] a refuge of us (Selah)

Trust in him, all you people assembled, pour out your heart in his presence; God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

9 Only - [are] a breath [the] children of humankind [are] falsehood [the] children of everyone in [the] balances to go up they [are] more than a breath together.

The lowly are nought but a breath, the lofty are but an illusion: in the balances up they go, they are lighter than breath altogether.

10 May not you trust in extortion and in robbery may not you put vain hope wealth - if it will bear fruit may not you set heart.

Trust not in gain of extortion, set no vain hopes in robbery. As for wealth, if it bears fruit, set not your heart upon it.

11 One [time] - he has spoken God two [times] this I have heard that strength [belongs] to God.

One thing God has uttered, two things there are which I heard that power belongs to God,

12 And [belongs] to you O Lord covenant loyalty for you you repay to a person according to work his.

and to you, too, O Lord, belongs kindness; for you requite each person according to what they have done.
