Psalms 62

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

God is the only one who can give me peace in my inner being, and he is the one who saves me [from my enemies].

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

Only he is like an [overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he will be [like] a shelter, [with the result that] I will never be defeated [MET].

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.

When will you, [my enemies], stop attacking me [RHQ]? I feel that I am [as useless against you as] a wall that is about to fall over or a broken-down fence [MET].

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)

My enemies plan to remove me from my important position so that people no longer honor me. They delight in telling lies. They bless people by what they say [MTY], but in their inner beings they curse [those people].

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

God is the only one who gives me peace in my inner being; he is the one whom I confidently expect [to help me].

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

Only he is [like an overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he is [like] a shelter, and [as a result] I will never be defeated.

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

God is the one who saves me and honors me. He is [like an overhanging] strong rock under which I [can] find shelter [MET].

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

[You my] people, always trust in him. Tell him all your troubles, because he is (our refuge/the one who protects us) [MET].

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.

People who are considered to be unimportant are [as worthless/unreliable as] a breath of air; people who are considered to be important [also] really (amount to nothing/cannot be trusted [to help us)]. If you put them all on a scale, [it would be as if] they weighed less than a puff of air.

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.

Do not trust in money gained by extorting it from others; do not try to gain anything by robbing others. If you become very wealthy, do not trust in [IDM] your money.

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

I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who [really] has power,

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

and that he is the one who faithfully loves [us]. He rewards every one [of us] according to the deeds that we do.
