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, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. Truly my soul waiteth upon God: 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; he is my defence; 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 imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as 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 consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight 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.

My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

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

He only 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.

In God is 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.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether 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 become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

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

God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth to God.

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

Also to thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
