Psalms 62

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

My soul waits in silence for God only. From him is my salvation.

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

He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower. I shall not be greatly moved.

3 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.

How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may kill, all of you, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 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)

They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

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

My soul, wait thou in silence for God only, for my expectation is from him.

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

He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower. I shall not be moved.

7 On God [is] my salvation, and my honour, The rock of my strength, my refuge [is] in God.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery. If riches increase, set not your heart on it.

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

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

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

Also to thee, O Lord, belongs loving kindness, for thou render to every man according to his work.
