Psalms 62

1 To the excelletn musician Ieduthun. A Psalme of David. Yet my soule keepeth silence vnto God: of him commeth my saluation.

To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. A Psalm. Of David. My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my salvation.

2 Yet he is my strength and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not much be mooued.

He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.

3 How long wil ye imagine mischiefe against a man? ye shalbe all slaine: ye shalbe as a bowed wall, or as a wall shaken.

How long will you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?

4 Yet they consult to cast him downe from his dignitie: their delight is in lies, they blesse with their mouthes, but curse with their hearts. (Selah)

Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (Selah)

5 Yet my soule keepe thou silence vnto God: for mine hope is in him.

My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my hope.

6 Yet is hee my strength, and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not be mooued.

He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.

7 In God is my saluation and my glory, the rocke of my strength: in God is my trust.

In God is my salvation, and my glory; the Rock of my strength, and my safe place.

8 Trust in him alway, ye people: powre out your hearts before him, for God is our hope. (Selah)

Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah)

9 Yet the children of men are vanitie, the chiefe men are lies: to lay them vpon a balance they are altogether lighter then vanitie.

Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath.

10 Trust not in oppression nor in robberie: be not vaine: if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

Have no faith in the rewards of evil-doing, or in profits wrongly made: if your wealth is increased, do not put your hopes on it.

11 God spake once or twise, I haue heard it, that power belongeth vnto God,

Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's:

12 And to thee, O Lord, mercie: for thou rewardest euery one according to his worke.

And mercy, O Lord, is yours, for you give to every man the reward of his work.
