Psalms 62

To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1 Upon God*GodHebrew: Elohim alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation. 2 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved. 3 How long will ye assail a man; will ye seek, all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence? 4 They only consult to thrust him down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah. 5 Upon God*GodHebrew: Elohim alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved. 7 With God*GodHebrew: Elohim is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God*GodHebrew: Elohim

8 Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God*GodHebrew: Elohim is our refuge. Selah. 9 Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together lighter than vanity. 10 Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it. 11 Once hath God*GodHebrew: Elohim spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength belongeth unto God*GodHebrew: Elohim12 And unto thee, O Lord, belongeth loving-kindness; for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1 My soul waiteth in silence for God only:

From him cometh my salvation.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation:

He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

3 How long will ye set upon a man,

That ye may slay him, all of you,

Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity;

They delight in lies;

They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. [Selah

5 My soul, wait thou in silence for God only;

For my expectation is from him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation:

He is my high tower; I shall not be moved.

7 With 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:

In the balances they will go up;

They are together lighter than vanity.

10 Trust not in oppression,

And become not vain in robbery:

If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

11 God hath spoken once,

Twice have I heard this,

That power belongeth unto God.

12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness;

For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
