Psalm 62

Darby Translation

To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

62 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.
