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.

1 My soul rests in God alone.

My salvation is from him.

2 He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress.

I will never be greatly shaken.

3 How long will you assault a man?

Would all of you throw him down,

like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place.

They delight in lies.

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

5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone,

for my expectation is from him.

6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.

I will not be shaken.

7 My salvation and my honor is with God.

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

8 Trust in him at all times, you people.

Pour out your heart before him.

God is a refuge for us. Selah.

9 Surely men of low degree are just a breath,

and men of high degree are a lie.

In the balances they will go up.

They are together lighter than a breath.

10 Don’t trust in oppression.

Don’t become vain in robbery.

If riches increase,

don’t set your heart on them.

11 God has spoken once;

twice I have heard this,

that power belongs to God.

12 Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness,

for you reward every man according to his work.
