Psalm 62

Revised Version 1895

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1My soul waiteth only uponH5921 God: from him cometh my salvation.

2He onlyH389 is my rock and my salvationH3444: he is my high tower; I shall notH5315 be greatly moved.

3How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may slay him, all of youH3808, like a bowing wall, like a tottering fence?

4They onlyH5704 consult to thrustH1760 him downH5186 from his excellency; they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah

5My soul, wait thou onlyH389 upon God; for my expectation is from him.

6He onlyH389 is my rock and my salvation: he is my high tower; I shall notH3588 be moved.

7With GodH3808 is my salvationH3444 and my glory: the rockH6697 of my strengthH6697, and my refugeH4869, is in GodH3808.

8Trust in him at all times, ye people; pour outH5921 your heart beforeH5921 him: GodH430 is a refugeH4268 for usH5921. Selah

9Surely menH5971 of low degree are vanity, and menH5971 of high degree are a lie: in the balances they will go upH8210; they are togetherH5971 lighter thanH3605 vanity.

10Trust notH1121 in oppression, and become notH1121 vainH1892 in robbery: ifH376 riches increase, setH5927 notH1121 your heart thereon.

11God hath spoken once, twice have I heardH3588 this; that powerH2428 belongeth unto God:

12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to everyH259 manH259 according to his work.
