PSALM 62
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun,
A Psalm of David.
1My soul with expectation
depends on God indeed;
My strength and my salvation doth
from him alone proceed.
2He only my salvation is,
and my strong rock is he:
He only is my sure defence;
much mov'd I shall not be.
3How long will ye against a man
plot mischief? ye shall all
Be slain; ye as a tott'ring fence shall be,
and bowing wall.
4They only plot to cast him down
from his excellency:
They joy in lies; with mouth they bless,
but they curse inwardly.
5My soul, wait thou with patience
upon thy God alone;
On him dependeth all my hope
and expectation.
6He only my salvation is,
and my strong rock is he;
He only is my sure defence:
I shall not moved be.
7In God my glory placed is,
and my salvation sure;
In God the rock is of my strength,
my refuge most secure.
8Ye people, place your confidence
in him continually;
Before him pour ye out your heart:
God is our refuge high.
9Surely mean men are vanity,
and great men are a lie;
In balance laid, they wholly are
more light than vanity.
10Trust ye not in oppression,
in robb'ry be not vain;
On wealth set not your hearts, when as
increased is your gain.
11God hath it spoken once to me,
yea, this I heard again,
That power to Almighty God
alone doth appertain.
12Yea, mercy also unto thee
belongs, O Lord, alone:
For thou according to his work
rewardest ev'ry one.

1For the leader. Set in the style of Y’dutun. A psalm of David:
2My soul waits in silence for God alone;
my salvation comes from him.
3He alone is my rock and salvation,
my stronghold; I won’t be greatly moved.
4How long will you assail a person
in order to murder him, all of you,
as if he were a sagging wall
or a shaky fence?
5They only want to shake him from his height,
they take delight in lying —
with their mouths they bless,
but inwardly they curse. (Selah)
6My soul, wait in silence for God alone,
because my hope comes from him.
7He alone is my rock and salvation,
my stronghold; I won’t be moved.
8My safety and honor rest on God.
My strong rock and refuge are in God.
9Trust in him, people, at all times;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us. (Selah)
10Ordinary folks are merely a breath
and important people a sham;
if you lay them on a balance-scale, they go up —
both together are lighter than nothing.
11Don’t put your trust in extortion,
don’t put false hopes in robbery;
even if wealth increases,
don’t set your heart on it.
12God has spoken once, I have heard it twice:
strength belongs to God.
13Also to you, Adonai, belongs grace;
for you reward all as their deeds deserve.
