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 Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; 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, 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, as a leaning wall, 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 devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting 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.

Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul; for from Him cometh my hope.

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.

Upon God resteth 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.

Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; if they be laid in the balances, 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 put not vain hope 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 strength 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 mercy; for Thou renderest to every man according to his work.
