Psalms 62

1 To the Chief Musician. On Jeduthun—A Melody of David. Surely, towards God, silence [becometh] my soul, From him, is 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 Surely, he, is my rock and my salvation, My high tower—I shall not be greatly shaken!

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

3 How long will ye shout at a man? Ye shall be crushed all of you, —Like a wall that bulgeth, —a fence pushed in!

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 Surely, from his elevation, they have taken counsel to thrust him down, They accept falsehood, —With his mouth, they each of them bless, But, inwardly, they revile. (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 Surely, towards God, be thou silent, my soul, For, from him, is mine expectation:

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

6 Surely, he, is my rock, and my salvation, My high tower—I shall not be shaken!

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

7 Upon God, [depend] my salvation and mine honour, My rock of strength, my refuge, are 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 ye in him all ye assembly of the people, Pour out, before him, your heart, 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, vanity, are men of low degree, Deception, men of high degree, —In the balances, they go up, They, are [made] of vanity, altogether.

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

10 Do not trust in extortion, Nor, with robbery, become vain, As for wealth, when it beareth fruit, Do not set [thereon your] heart.

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

11 One thing, hath God spoken, Two things, [there are] which I have heard, That, power, belongeth unto God;

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

12 And, thine, O My Lord, is lovingkindness, —For, thou, wilt pay back unto every man—according to his deed.

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