Psalms 62

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

Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David. Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.

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

For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.

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 do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and 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)

But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.

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

But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.

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

For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.

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

In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope 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, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.

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

But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.

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

Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.

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

God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,

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

And mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
