1 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 Vir die musiekleier; op die wysie van: "Jedutun." 'n Psalm van Dawid.

2 Ja, my siel is stil tot God; van Hom is my heil.

3 Hy alleen is my rots en my heil, my rotsvesting; ek sal nie grootliks wankel nie.

4 Hoe lank sal julle aanstorm op 'n man, julle almal hom verbrysel soos 'n muur wat oorhang, 'n omgestote klipmuur?

5 Ja, hulle hou raad om hom van sy hoogte af te stoot; hulle het behae in leuens; met hul mond seën hulle, maar met hul binneste vloek hulle. Sela.

6 Wees net maar stil tot God, my siel, want van Hom is my verwagting!

7 Sekerlik, Hy is my rots en my heil, my rotsvesting; ek sal nie wankel nie.

8 By God is my heil en my eer; die rots van my sterkte, my toevlug is in God.

9 Vertrou op Hom altyd, o volk! Stort julle hart uit voor sy aangesig! God is 'n toevlug vir ons. Sela.

10 Ja, nietigheid is die mensekinders, leuens is die aansienlikes; in die weegskaal moet hulle opgaan, almal saam is hulle minder as nietigheid.

11 Vertrou nie op verdrukking en bou geen ydele hoop op rowery nie; as die vermoë aangroei, sit daar die hart nie op nie!

12 Een ding het God gespreek, twee is dit wat ek gehoor het: dat die sterkte aan God behoort, [ (Psalms 62:13) en aan U, o Here, behoort die goedertierenheid; want U vergeld elkeen na sy werk. ]
