Psalms 62

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

1. ¹Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.
2. ²He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.
3. ³How long will ye assail a man; will ye [supplied: seek], all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?
4. ⁴They only consult to thrust [supplied: him] down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah.
5. ⁵Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.
6. ⁶He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.
7. ⁷With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
8. ⁸Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah.
9. ⁹Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together [supplied: lighter] than vanity.
10. ¹⁰Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.
11. ¹¹Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength [supplied: belongeth] unto God.
12. ¹²And unto thee, O Lord, [supplied: belongeth] loving-kindness; for *thou* renderest to every man according to his work.
