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

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

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

3 How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like 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 fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. 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 in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

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

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

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

7 My salvation and my honour is with God. 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, you 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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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