Psalms 62

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

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

2 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: 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!

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?

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.

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.

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

5 UponGod alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

12 And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness; 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.
