Psalms 62

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

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From him [cometh] 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: [He is] 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 slay [him], 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: [He is] 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 [thereon].

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

God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God.

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

Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness; For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
