Psalms 62

1 For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by David. My soul rests in God alone. My salvation [yeshuah-ti] is from him.

To the excelletn musician Ieduthun. A Psalme of David. Yet my soule keepeth silence vnto God: of him commeth my saluation.

2 He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.

Yet he is my strength and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not much be mooued.

3 How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

How long wil ye imagine mischiefe against a man? ye shalbe all slaine: ye shalbe as a bowed wall, or as a wall shaken.

4 They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

Yet they consult to cast him downe from his dignitie: their delight is in lies, they blesse with their mouthes, but curse with their hearts. (Selah)

5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

Yet my soule keepe thou silence vnto God: for mine hope is in him.

6 He alone is my rock and my salvation [yeshuah-ti], my fortress. I will not be shaken.

Yet is hee my strength, and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not be mooued.

7 My salvation and my honour is with God. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

In God is my saluation and my glory, the rocke of my strength: in God is my trust.

8 Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

Trust in him alway, ye people: powre out your hearts before him, for God is our hope. (Selah)

9 Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.

Yet the children of men are vanitie, the chiefe men are lies: to lay them vpon a balance they are altogether lighter then vanitie.

10 Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.

Trust not in oppression nor in robberie: be not vaine: if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

11 God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

God spake once or twise, I haue heard it, that power belongeth vnto God,

12 Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.

And to thee, O Lord, mercie: for thou rewardest euery one according to his worke.
