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.”

Psalms 62
62
To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. — A Psalm of David.
1Only — toward God [is] my soul silent, From Him [is] my salvation.
2Only — He [is] my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved.
3Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are destroyed all of you, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.
4Only — from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. Selah.
5Only — for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him [is] my hope.
6Only — He [is] my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.
7On God [is] my salvation, and my honour, The rock of my strength, my refuge [is] in God.
8Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth before Him your heart, God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.
9Only — vanity [are] the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity [are] lighter.
10Trust not in oppression, And in robbery become not vain, Wealth — when it increaseth — set not the heart.
11Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That ‘strength [is] with God.’
12And with Thee, O Lord, [is] kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!
