1 To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. A Psalm. Of David.

2 \62:1\My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my salvation.

3 \62:2\He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.

4 \62:3\How long will you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?

5 \62:4\Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (Selah.)

6 \62:5\My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my hope.

7 \62:6\He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.

8 \62:7\In God is my salvation, and my glory; the Rock of my strength, and my safe place.

9 \62:8\Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah.)

10 \62:9\Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath.

11 \62:10\Have no faith in the rewards of evil-doing, or in profits wrongly made: if your wealth is increased, do not put your hopes on it.

12 \62:11\Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's:

13 \62:12\And mercy, O Lord, is yours, for you give to every man the reward of his work.

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1 My soul waiteth in silence for God only:

From him cometh my salvation.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation:

He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

3 How long will ye set upon a man,

That ye may slay him, all of you,

Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity;

They delight in lies;

They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. [Selah

5 My soul, wait thou in silence for God only;

For my expectation is from him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation:

He is my high tower; I shall not be moved.

7 With God is my salvation and my glory:

The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8 Trust in him at all times, ye people;

Pour out your heart before him:

God is a refuge for us. [Selah

9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie:

In the balances they will go up;

They are together lighter than vanity.

10 Trust not in oppression,

And become not vain in robbery:

If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

11 God hath spoken once,

Twice have I heard this,

That power belongeth unto God.

12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness;

For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
