Psalms 62

1 For the end, a Psalm of David for Idithun. Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation.

To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. — A Psalm of David. Only — toward God [is] my soul silent, From Him [is] my salvation.

2 For he is my God, and my saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved very much.

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

3 How long will ye assault a man? ye are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge.

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.

4 They only took counsel to set at nought mine honour: I ran in thirst: with their mouth they blessed, but with their heart they cursed. (Pause)

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)

5 Nevertheless do thou, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him [is] my patient hope.

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

6 For he [is] my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved.

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

7 In God [is] my salvation and my glory: [he is] the God of my help, and my hope is in God.

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

8 Hope in him, all ye congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. (Pause)

Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth before Him your heart, God [is] a refuge for us. (Selah)

9 But the sons of men are vain; the sons of men are false, so as to be deceitful in the balances; they are all alike [formed] out of vanity.

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

10 Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it.

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

11 God has spoken once, [and] I have heard these two things, that power is of God;

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

12 and mercy is thine, O Lord; for thou wilt recompense every one according to his works.

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