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.

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

3 How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or 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. Selah

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

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

7 My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God.

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

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

10 Place no trust in extortion or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

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

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

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

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

3 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 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 thou only upon God; for my expectation [is] from him.

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

7 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; [ye] people, pour out your heart before him: God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.

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

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

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

1 a psalm of David for Jeduthun, to be sung.

2 my soul is silent to God, who helps me.

3 For he is my stronghold, my help, my refuge, that no fall shall overthrow me, how great he is.

4 How long do ye all pursue after one, to slay him, as a hanging wall, and as a broken wall?

5 They only think how to muffle him, they diligently lie, they give good words, but in their hearts they curse. Sela.

6 But my soul waiteth only for God: for he is my hope.

7 He is my refuge, my help, and my protection, that I shall not fall.

8 with GOD is my salvation, my glory, the rock of my strength; my confidence is in GOD.

9 Hope in Him always, dear people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our confidence. Sela.

10 But men are nothing, great men also lack; they weigh less than nothing, as much as they are.

11 Rely not on iniquity and righteousness; hold not yourselves to that which is nothing. If riches come to you, do not set your heart on them.

12 God hath spoken a word, which I have heard many times, that God alone is mighty.

13 And thou, O LORD, art gracious, and payest every man according to his due.
