Psalms, 62

0.

0. To the choirmaster: according to 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;

1. For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.

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

2. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly moved.

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?

3. How long will you set upon a man to shatter him, all of you, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

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

4. They only plan to thrust him down from his eminence. They take pleasure in falsehood. They bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. [Selah]

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

5. For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him.

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

6. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.

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

7. On God rests my deliverance and my honor; my mighty rock, my refuge is God.

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

8. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. [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.

9. Men of low estate are but a breath, men of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath.

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

10. Put no confidence in extortion, set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them.

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

11. Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God;

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

12. and that to thee, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For thou dost requite a man according to his work.
