Psalms 62

1 My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my 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 is my high tower; I will 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 you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?

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?

4Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (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, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my hope.

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 is my high tower; I will not be greatly 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.

7In God is my salvation, and my glory; the Rock of my strength, and my safe place.

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.

8Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (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.

9Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath.

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.

10Have no faith in the rewards of evil-doing, or in profits wrongly made: if your wealth is increased, do not put your hopes on it.

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.

11Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's:

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.

12And mercy, O Lord, is yours, for you give to every man the reward of 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.
