Psalms 62

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

To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; 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 fortress: 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 assail a man; will ye [seek], all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or 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 excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. (Selah)

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

Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; 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 fortress: 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, 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)

Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. (Selah)

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

Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together [lighter] than vanity.

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

Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.

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

Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength [belongeth] unto God.

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

And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness; for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
