Psalms 62 — Side by side (WEB, ASV, BBE)

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

1 My 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.

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.

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?

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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:

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.
