Psalms

To the Chief Musician. On Jeduthun—A Melody of David.

62 Surely towards God silence [becometh] my soul, From him is my salvation:

2 Surely he is my rock and my salvation, My high tower—I shall not be greatly shaken!

3 How long will ye shout at a man? Ye shall be crushed all of you,—Like a wall that bulgeth,—a fence pushed in!

4 Surely from his elevation they have taken counsel to thrust him down, They accept falsehood,—With his mouth they each of them bless, But inwardly they revile. [Selah.

5 Surely towards God be thou silent, my soul, For from him is mine expectation:

6 Surely he is my rock and my salvation, My high tower—I shall not be shaken!

7 Upon God [depend] my salvation and mine honour, My rock of strength, my refuge are in God.

8 Trust ye in him all ye assembly of the people, Pour out before him your heart, God is a refuge for us. [Selah.

9 Surely vanity are men of low degree, Deception men of high degree,—In the balances they go up, They are [made] of vanity altogether.

10 Do not trust in extortion, Nor with robbery become vain,—As for wealth when it beareth fruit Do not set [thereon your] heart.

11 One thing hath God spoken, Two things [there are] which I have heard, That power belongeth unto God;

12 And thine, O My Lord, is lovingkindness,—For thou wilt pay back unto every man—according to his deed.
