PSALM 62
To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1Upon God#GodHebrew: Elohim alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation. 2He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved. 3How long will ye assail a man; will ye seek, all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence? 4They only consult to thrust him down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah. 5Upon God#GodHebrew: Elohim alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him. 6He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved. 7With God#GodHebrew: Elohim is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God#GodHebrew: Elohim
8Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God#GodHebrew: Elohim is our refuge. Selah. 9Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together lighter than vanity. 10Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it. 11Once hath God#GodHebrew: Elohim spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength belongeth unto God#GodHebrew: Elohim 12And unto thee, O Lord, belongeth loving-kindness; for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

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.”
