Psalms 62

To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.

1Truly my soulH5315 waitethH1747 upon GodH430: from him cometh my salvationH3444.12

2He only is my rockH6697 and my salvationH3444; he is my defenceH4869; I shall not be greatlyH7227 movedH4131.3

3How long will ye imagine mischiefH2050 against a manH376? ye shall be slainH7523 all of you: as a bowingH5186 wallH7023 shall ye be, and as a totteringH1760 fenceH1447.

4They only consultH3289 to cast him downH5080 from his excellencyH7613: they delightH7521 in liesH3577: they blessH1288 with their mouthH6310, but they curseH7043 inwardlyH7130. SelahH5542.4

5My soulH5315, waitH1826 thou only upon GodH430; for my expectationH8615 is from him.

6He only is my rockH6697 and my salvationH3444: he is my defenceH4869; I shall not be movedH4131.

7In GodH430 is my salvationH3468 and my gloryH3519: the rockH6697 of my strengthH5797, and my refugeH4268, is in GodH430.

8TrustH982 in him at all timesH6256; ye peopleH5971, pour outH8210 your heartH3824 beforeH6440 him: GodH430 is a refugeH4268 for us. SelahH5542.

9Surely menH1121H120 of low degree are vanityH1892, and menH376 of high degree are a lieH3577: to be laidH5927 in the balanceH3976, they are altogetherH3162 lighter than vanityH1892.5

10TrustH982 not in oppressionH6233, and become not vainH1891 in robberyH1498: if richesH2428 increaseH5107, setH7896 not your heartH3820 upon them.

11GodH430 hath spokenH1696 onceH259; twiceH8147 have I heardH8085 thisH2098; that powerH5797 belongeth unto GodH430.6

12Also unto thee, O LordH136, belongeth mercyH2617: for thou renderestH7999 to every manH376 according to his workH4639.
