Psalms 62
62
Psalm 62#In Hebrew texts 62:1-12 is numbered 62:2-13.
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
1Truly my soul finds rest in God;
my salvation comes from him.
2Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
3How long will you assault me?
Would all of you throw me down—
this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
4Surely they intend to topple me
from my lofty place;
they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
but in their hearts they curse.#62:4 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verse 8.
5Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
my hope comes from him.
6Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7My salvation and my honor depend on God#62:7 Or / God Most High is my salvation and my honor;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8Trust in him at all times, you people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.
9Surely the lowborn are but a breath,
the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance, they are nothing;
together they are only a breath.
10Do not trust in extortion
or put vain hope in stolen goods;
though your riches increase,
do not set your heart on them.
11One thing God has spoken,
two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,
12and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;
and, “You reward everyone
according to what they have done.”

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.
