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 Overseer, for Jeduthun. — A Psalm of David. Only — toward God [is] my soul silent, From Him [is] my salvation.

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

Only — He [is] my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much 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.

Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are destroyed all of you, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.

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)

Only — from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. (Selah)

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

Only — for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him [is] my hope.

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

Only — He [is] my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.

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

On God [is] my salvation, and my honour, 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)

Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth before Him your heart, God [is] a refuge for us. (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.

Only — vanity [are] the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity [are] lighter.

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

Trust not in oppression, And in robbery become not vain, Wealth — when it increaseth — set not the heart.

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

Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That 'strength [is] with God.'

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

And with Thee, O Lord, [is] kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!
