Psalms, 62

To the director of Je·duʹthun.^*1 A melody of David.

¹ Indeed toward God is my soul [waiting in] silence.^*1 From him my salvation is.

² Indeed he is my rock and my salvation, my secure height; I shall not be made to totter very much.

³ How long will YOU carry on frantically against the man whom YOU would murder? All of YOU are like a leaning wall, a stone wall that is being pushed in.

⁴ Indeed they give advice so as to allure from one’s own dignity; They take pleasure in a lie. With their mouth they bless, but inside themselves they call down evil. Seʹlah.

⁵ Indeed toward God wait silently, O my soul, Because from him is my hope.

⁶ Indeed he is my rock and my salvation, my secure height; I shall not be made to totter.

⁷ Upon God are my salvation and my glory. My strong rock, my refuge is in God.

⁸ Trust in him at all times, O people. Before him pour out YOUR heart. God is a refuge for us. Seʹlah.

⁹ Indeed the sons of earthling man^*1 are an exhalation, The sons of mankind^*2 are a lie. When laid upon the scales they are all together lighter than an exhalation.

¹⁰ Do not put YOUR trust in defrauding, Nor become vain in sheer robbery. In case the means of maintenance should thrive, do not set YOUR heart [on them].

¹¹ Once God has spoken, twice I have heard even this, That strength belongs to God.

¹² Also loving-kindness belongs to you, O Jehovah,^*1 For you yourself pay back to each one^*2 according to his work.
