Psalms Chapter 62

1aTo the choirmaster on Jeduthun.↑

A Psalm of David.

1bSurely my being enjoys quietness towards God;

From him is my salvation.

2Surely he is my rock and my salvation;

My high stronghold

Where I will not falter, with great assurance.

3How long will you men beleaguer a man?

You will all be killed.

You are like a leaning wall

And like a buckling fence.

4Surely they take counsel

As to how to thrust a man out of his exalted position.

They take pleasure in falsehood;

With the mouth they bless,

But inwardly they curse.

Selah.

5Surely I must be inwardly quiet towards God,

For from him is my hope.

6Surely he is my rock and my salvation

– My high stronghold where I will not be shaken.

7On God rests my salvation and my glory

On the rock of my strength.

My refuge is in God.

8Trust in him at all times, O people;

Pour out your heart before him.

God is a refuge for us.

Selah.

9Surely the sons of Adam are vanity

– The sons of man are false.

In the balance they rise;

They are altogether constituted from vanity.

10Do not trust in the proceeds of oppression,

And do not act vainly for plunder.

If wealth increases,

Do not set your heart on it.

11Once God spoke;

This second time I heard it,

That strength belongs to God.

12And kindness belongs to you, O Lord*,

For you will repay man according to his works.
