Psalms 62

1Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.

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

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.

2He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

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

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!

3How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

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

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.

4They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

4They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. [Selah

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

7In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

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

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:

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

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

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:

9Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

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.

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.

10Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

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

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:

11God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

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

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.

12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

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

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.
