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 excelletn musician Ieduthun. A Psalme of David. Yet my soule keepeth silence vnto God: of him commeth my saluation.

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

Yet he is my strength and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not much be mooued.

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 wil ye imagine mischiefe against a man? ye shalbe all slaine: ye shalbe as a bowed wall, or as a wall shaken.

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)

Yet they consult to cast him downe from his dignitie: their delight is in lies, they blesse with their mouthes, but curse with their hearts. (Selah)

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

Yet my soule keepe thou silence vnto God: for mine hope is in him.

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

Yet is hee my strength, and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not be mooued.

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

In God is my saluation and my glory, the rocke of my strength: in God is my trust.

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 alway, ye people: powre out your hearts before him, for God is our hope. (Selah)

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

Yet the children of men are vanitie, the chiefe men are lies: to lay them vpon a balance they are altogether lighter then vanitie.

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

Trust not in oppression nor in robberie: be not vaine: if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

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

God spake once or twise, I haue heard it, that power belongeth vnto God,

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

And to thee, O Lord, mercie: for thou rewardest euery one according to his worke.
