Psalms 62

1 For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by David. My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.

Truly my soul waiteth upon Elohim: from him cometh my salvation.

2 He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.

He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

3 How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

4 They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (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 My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

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

6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.

He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

7 My salvation and my honour is with God. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

In Elohim is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in Elohim.

8 Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: Elohim is a refuge for us. (Selah)

9 Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.

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 Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.

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

11 God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

Elohim hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto Elohim.

12 Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.

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