Psalms 62

1 Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Will my soul not be subject to God? For from him is my salvation.

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

2 Yes, he himself is my God and my salvation. He is my supporter; I will be moved no more.

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

3 How is it that you rush against a man? Every one of you puts to death, as if you were pulling down a ruined wall, leaning over and falling apart.

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

4 So, truly, they intended to reject my price. I ran in thirst. They blessed with their mouth and cursed with their heart.

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)

5 Yet, truly, my soul will be subject to God. For from him is my patience.

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

6 For he is my God and my Savior. He is my helper; I will not be expelled.

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

7 In God is my salvation and my glory. He is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.

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

8 All peoples gathered together: trust in him. Pour out your hearts in his sight. God is our helper for eternity.

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

9 So, truly, the sons of men are untrustworthy. The sons of men are liars in the scales, so that, by emptiness, they may deceive among themselves.

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.

10 Do not trust in iniquity, and do not desire plunder. If riches flow toward you, do not be willing to set your heart on them.

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

11 God has spoken once. I have heard two things: that power belongs to God,

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

12 and that mercy belongs to you, O Lord. For you will repay each one according to his works.

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