Psalms 62

1 My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From himcomethmy salvation.

1A psalm of David while he was in the desert of Edom.

1 UponGod alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.

2He only is my rock and my salvation: He ismy high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

2O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!

2 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.

3How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

3In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.

3 How 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 dignity; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. [Selah

4For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips will praise.

4 They 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.

5My soul, wait thou in silence for God only; For my expectation is from him.

5Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.

5 UponGod alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.

6He only is my rock and my salvation: He ismy high tower; I shall not be moved.

6Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.

7With God is my salvation and my glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

7If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:

7 WithGod is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is inGod.

8Trust in him at all times, ye people; Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. [Selah

8Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the cover of thy wings:

8 Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him:God is our refuge. Selah.

9Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.

9My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.

9 Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together [lighter] than vanity.

10Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

10But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:

10 Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.

11God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God.

11They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.

11 Once hathGod spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength [belongeth] untoGod.

12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness; For thou renderest to every man according to his work.

12But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.

12 And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness; for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
