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.”

Tehillim (Psa) 62
62
1For the leader. Set in the style of Y’dutun. A psalm of David:
2My soul waits in silence for God alone;
my salvation comes from him.
3He alone is my rock and salvation,
my stronghold; I won’t be greatly moved.
4How long will you assail a person
in order to murder him, all of you,
as if he were a sagging wall
or a shaky fence?
5They only want to shake him from his height,
they take delight in lying —
with their mouths they bless,
but inwardly they curse. (Selah)
6My soul, wait in silence for God alone,
because my hope comes from him.
7He alone is my rock and salvation,
my stronghold; I won’t be moved.
8My safety and honor rest on God.
My strong rock and refuge are in God.
9Trust in him, people, at all times;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us. (Selah)
10Ordinary folks are merely a breath
and important people a sham;
if you lay them on a balance-scale, they go up —
both together are lighter than nothing.
11Don’t put your trust in extortion,
don’t put false hopes in robbery;
even if wealth increases,
don’t set your heart on it.
12God has spoken once, I have heard it twice:
strength belongs to God.
13Also to you, Adonai, belongs grace;
for you reward all as their deeds deserve.
