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:

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

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

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

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 will ye set upon a man, that ye may slay [him], all of you, like a bowing wall, like 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)

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

5 Surely, towards God, be thou silent, my soul, For, from him, is mine expectation:

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

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

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

7 Upon God, [depend] my salvation and mine honour, My rock of strength, my refuge, are in God.

With God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, 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 at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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