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.

“To the chief musician, upon Jeduthun, a psalm of David.” Only in God my soul trusted in silence: from him cometh my salvation.

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

Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defense: I shall not be greatly moved.

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 devise mischief against a man? will ye all assault him murderously, as though he were a falling wall, 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.

Yea, from his height do they take counsel to cast [him] down; they delight in lies: with their mouth do they bless, but inwardly do they curse. (Selah)

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

Yea, in God hope in silence, my soul; for from him is my expectation.

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

Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defence: 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.

With God are my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength [and] my protection are 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 at all times, O ye people; pour out before him your heart: God is a protection for us. (Selah)

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.

Verily nought are the sons of common men, a lie the sons of the great; they must rise in the balance; they are altogether [lighter] than nought.

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.

Do not put your trust in defrauding, and be not rendered vain through robbery: if riches flourish, set not your heart [upon them].

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

Once hath God spoken; [yea, ] twice [what] I have heard: that strength belongeth unto God.

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

And unto thee, O Lord, belongeth kindness; for thou wilt recompense every man according to his works.
