| Chapter 62 |
1 | To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of David. Only -- toward God [is] my soul silent, From Him [is] my salvation. |
2 | Only -- He [is] my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved. |
3 | Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are destroyed all of you, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down. |
4 | Only -- from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. Selah. |
5 | Only -- for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him [is] my hope. |
6 | Only -- He [is] my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved. |
7 | On God [is] my salvation, and my honour, The rock of my strength, my refuge [is] in God. |
8 | Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth before Him your heart, God [is] a refuge for us. Selah. |
9 | Only -- vanity [are] the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity [are] lighter. |
10 | Trust not in oppression, And in robbery become not vain, Wealth -- when it increaseth -- set not the heart. |
11 | Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That 'strength [is] with God.' |
12 | And with Thee, O Lord, [is] kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work! |
