Psalms 62

1 Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David. Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.

For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; from Him cometh my salvation.

2 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.

He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be greatly moved.

3 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.

How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may slay him, all of you, as a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

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

They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

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

Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul; for from Him cometh my hope.

6 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.

He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, 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.

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

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

Trust in Him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

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

Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; if they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.

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

Trust not in oppression, and put not vain hope in robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

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

God hath spoken once, twice have I heard this: that strength belongeth unto God;

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

Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; for Thou renderest to every man according to his work.
