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 62
62
(For the one directing. According to Yedutun. Mizmor of Dovid)
1 Truly my nefesh waiteth silently#62:1 in submission upon Elohim; from Him cometh my Yeshu'ah (salvation).
2 Truly He is my Tzur and my Yeshu'ah (salvation); He is my stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.
3 How long will ye rush to attack an ish? To thrust at, all of you, as at a leaning kir (wall), and as at a tottering gader (fence).
4 Truly they consult to bring down a person of prominence; they delight in kazav (lie, falsehood, deceptive thing); they make a brocha with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah
5 Truly in Elohim wait silently,#62:5 in submission my nefesh, for my tikvah (hope) is from Him.
6 Truly He is my Tzur and my Yeshu'ah (salvation); He is my stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
7 In Elohim is my salvation and my Kavod: the Tzur of my strength, and my refuge, is in Elohim.
8 Trust in Him at all time; ye people, pour out your lev before Him; Elohim is a refuge for us. Selah
9 Truly Bnei Adam (those of low estate) are hevel (vanity), and Bnei Ish (those who are highborn) are kazav (a lie); they go up in the balances; they are altogether lighter than hevel (vanity).
10 Trust not in oshek (oppression, extortion) and become not vain in gazel (the thing taken as plunder); if riches increase, set not your lev upon them.
11 Elohim hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that oz (strength) belongeth unto Elohim.
12 Also unto Thee, Adonoi, belongeth chesed; for Thou renderest to ish (every man) according to his ma'asim (deeds).
