Psalms 62

1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him [cometh] my salvation.

To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.

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

He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.

3 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.

How long will ye assail a man; will ye [seek], all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?

4 They only consult to cast [him] down from his excellence: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

They only consult to thrust [him] down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. (Selah)

5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation [is] from him.

Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.

6 He only [is] my rock and my salvation: [he is] my defense; I shall not be moved.

He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.

7 In God [is] my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, [and] my refuge, [is] in God.

With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God [is] a refuge for us. (Selah)

Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. (Selah)

9 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.

Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together [lighter] than vanity.

10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart [upon them].

Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.

11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power [belongeth] to God.

Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength [belongeth] unto God.

12 Also to thee, O LORD, [belongeth] mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness; for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
