Psalms 62

1 For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. My soul waiteth only upon God: from him [cometh] my salvation.

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

2 He only is my rock and my salvation: [he is] my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

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

3 How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may slay [him], all of you, like a bowing wall, like a tottering fence?

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.

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

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

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

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

6 He only is my rock and my salvation: [he is] my high tower; I shall not be moved.

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

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

In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope 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)

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

9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: in the balances they will go up; they are together lighter than vanity.

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

10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart [thereon].

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

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

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

12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

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