Psalms 62

1 For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.

To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him [cometh] my salvation.

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

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

3 How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or 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 cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse.

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 Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.

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

6 He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is 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 honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God.

In God [is] my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, [and] my refuge, [is] in God.

8 Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge.

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

9 Lowborn men are but a vapor, the exalted but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.

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 Place no trust in extortion, or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon 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; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God,

God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power [belongeth] unto God.

12 and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man according to his deeds.

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