Psalms 62

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

To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.

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

He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.

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

How long will ye assail a man; will ye [seek], all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?

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

They only consult to thrust [him] down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. (Selah)

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

Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.

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

He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.

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

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

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

Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. (Selah)

9 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.

Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together [lighter] than vanity.

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

Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.

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

Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength [belongeth] unto God.

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

And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness; for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
