Psalms, 62

1. For the leader; al Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

1. [For the choirmaster . . . Jeduthun Psalm Of David] In God alone there is rest for my soul, from him comes my safety;

2. My soul rests in God alone, from whom comes my salvation.

2. he alone is my rock, my safety, my stronghold so that I stand unshaken.

3. God alone is my rock and salvation, my secure height; I shall never fall.

3. How much longer will you set on a victim, all together, intent on murder, like a rampart already leaning over, a wall already damaged?

4. How long will you set upon people, all of you beating them down, As though they were a sagging fence or a battered wall?

4. Trickery is their only plan, deception their only pleasure, with lies on their lips they pronounce a blessing, with a curse in their hearts.Pause

5. Even from my place on high they plot to dislodge me. They delight in lies; they bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah

5. Rest in God alone, my soul! He is the source of my hope.

6. My soul, be at rest in God alone, from whom comes my hope.

6. He alone is my rock, my safety, my stronghold, so that I stand unwavering.

7. God alone is my rock and my salvation, my secure height; I shall not fall.

7. In God is my safety and my glory, the rock of my strength. In God is my refuge;

8. My safety and glory are with God, my strong rock and refuge.

8. trust in him, you people, at all times. Pour out your hearts to him, God is a refuge for us.Pause

9. Trust God at all times, my people! Pour out your hearts to God our refuge! Selah

9. Ordinary people are a mere puff of wind, important people a delusion; set both on the scales together, and they are lighter than a puff of wind.

10. Mortals are a mere breath, the powerful but an illusion; On a balance they rise; together they are lighter than air.

10. Put no trust in extortion, no empty hopes in robbery; however much wealth may multiply, do not set your heart on it.

11. Do not trust in extortion; in plunder put no empty hope. Though wealth increase, do not set your heart upon it.

11. Once God has spoken, twice have I heard this: Strength belongs to God,

12. One thing God has said; two things I have heard: Power belongs to God;

12. to you, Lord, faithful love; and you repay everyone as their deeds deserve.

13. 3) so too, Lord, does kindness, And you render to each of us according to our deeds.

13.
