Psalms 62

1 For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by David. My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.

To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.

2 He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.

He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.

3 How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

How long will ye assail a man; will ye [seek], all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?

4 They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

They only consult to thrust [him] down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. (Selah)

5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.

6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.

He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.

7 My salvation and my honour is with God. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

8 Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. (Selah)

9 Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.

Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together [lighter] than vanity.

10 Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.

Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.

11 God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength [belongeth] unto God.

12 Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.

And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness; for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
