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 Melody of David. Surely, towards God, silence [becometh] my soul, From him, is my salvation:

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

Surely, he, is my rock and my salvation, My high tower—I shall not be greatly shaken!

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 shout at a man? Ye shall be crushed all of you, —Like a wall that bulgeth, —a fence pushed in!

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)

Surely, from his elevation, they have taken counsel to thrust him down, They accept falsehood, —With his mouth, they each of them bless, But, inwardly, they revile. (Selah)

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

Surely, towards God, be thou silent, my soul, For, from him, is mine expectation:

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

Surely, he, is my rock, and my salvation, My high tower—I shall not be shaken!

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

Upon God, [depend] my salvation and mine honour, My rock of strength, my refuge, 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 ye in him all ye assembly of the people, Pour out, before him, your heart, 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.

Surely, vanity, are men of low degree, Deception, men of high degree, —In the balances, they go up, They, are [made] of vanity, altogether.

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

Do not trust in extortion, Nor, with robbery, become vain, As for wealth, when it beareth fruit, Do not set [thereon your] heart.

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

One thing, hath God spoken, Two things, [there are] which I have heard, That, power, belongeth unto God;

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

And, thine, O My Lord, is lovingkindness, —For, thou, wilt pay back unto every man—according to his deed.
