Psalms 62

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

Truly my soul waits upon God: 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 defence; I shall 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 all of you imagine mischief against a man? all of you shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall all of you be, and as a tottering fence.

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)

They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

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

My soul, wait you only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

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 defence; I shall not be 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 refuge, is in God.

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

Trust in him at all times; all of you people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. (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.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

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

Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

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

God has spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs unto God.

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

Also unto you, O Lord, belongs mercy: for you render to every man according to his work.
