Psalm 62
To the Overcomer, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
1¶ Only in God does my soul rest; from him comes my saving health.
2He only is my rock and my saving health; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? Shall ye murder each other until ye are as a bowing wall and as a tottering fence?
4They only consult to cast him down from his greatness; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse in their inward parts. Selah.
5My soul, rest thou only in God, for my hope is from him.
6He only is my rock and my saving health; he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7In God is my saving health and my glory; the rock of my strength and my refuge is in God.
8¶ Wait in him at all times; ye peoples, pour out your heart before him; God is our refuge. Selah.
9Surely the sons of Adam are vanity, and the sons of nobles are a lie; to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10Trust not in violence and become not vain in the taking of spoil; if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11God has spoken once; twice have I heard this that power belongs unto God.
12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongs mercy, for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

Psalm 62
For the choir director; according to Jeduthun; a psalm by David.
1My soul waits calmly for God alone.
My salvation comes from him.
2He alone is my rock and my savior—my stronghold.
I cannot be severely shaken.
3How long will all of you attack a person?
How long will you try to murder him,
as though he were a leaning wall or a sagging fence?
4They plan to force him out of his high position.
They are happy to lie.
They bless with their mouths,
but in their hearts they curse. Selah
5Wait calmly for God alone, my soul,
because my hope comes from him.
6He alone is my rock and my savior—my stronghold.
I cannot be shaken.
7My salvation and my glory depend on God.
God is the rock of my strength, my refuge.
8Trust him at all times, you people.
Pour out your hearts in his presence.
God is our refuge. Selah
9Common people are only a whisper in the wind.
Important people are only a delusion.
When all of them are weighed on a scale, they amount to nothing.
They are less than a whisper in the wind.
10Do not count on extortion ⌞to make you rich⌟.
Do not hope to gain anything through robbery.
When riches increase, do not depend on them.
11God has spoken once.
I have heard it ⌞said⌟ twice:
“Power belongs to God.
12Mercy belongs to you, O Lord.
You reward a person based on what he has done.”
