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.

Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David. Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from 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: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.

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 do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.

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

But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.

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

But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.

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: he is 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.

Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.

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 vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.

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 iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.

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

God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,

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

And mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
