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, upon Jeduthun, a psalm of David.” Only in God my soul trusted in silence: from him cometh my salvation.

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

Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defense: 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 devise mischief against a man? will ye all assault him murderously, as though he were a falling 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)

Yea, from his height do they take counsel to cast [him] down; they delight in lies: with their mouth do they bless, but inwardly do they curse. (Selah)

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

Yea, in God hope in silence, my soul; for from him is my expectation.

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

Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defence: 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 are my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength [and] my protection are 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, O ye people; pour out before him your heart: God is a protection for us. (Selah)

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

Verily nought are the sons of common men, a lie the sons of the great; they must rise in the balance; they are altogether [lighter] than nought.

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

Do not put your trust in defrauding, and be not rendered vain through robbery: if riches flourish, set not your heart [upon them].

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

Once hath God spoken; [yea, ] twice [what] I have heard: 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 kindness; for thou wilt recompense every man according to his works.
