| Chapter 62 |
1 | {To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.} Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation. |
2 | He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved. |
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? |
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. |
5 | Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him. |
6 | He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved. |
7 | With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. |
8 | Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah. |
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. |
10 | Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it. |
11 | Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength [belongeth] unto God. |
12 | And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness; for thou renderest to every man according to his work. |
