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.

Psalms 62
62
For Jeduthun, the music director. A psalm of David.
1Only in God do I find peace; my salvation comes from him.
2He is the one who protects me and saves me; he keeps me safe so I will never be in danger.
3How long are you#62:3. The psalmist now addresses his enemies. going to attack me? All of you against one man! To you I'm just a broken wall, a collapsed fence.
4They plan to throw me down from my high position; they love to tell lies. They say nice things to me, but inside they're cursing me. Selah.
5Only in God do I find peace; my hope comes from him.
6He is the one who protects me and saves me; he keeps me safe so I will not be in danger.
7My salvation and my success#62:7. Literally, “glory.” come from God alone; God is my security and my protection.
8My people, always trust in him. Pour out all your thoughts to him, for he is the one who looks after us. Selah.
9Ordinary people are mere breaths, while leaders are just fakes. Put them all together and weigh them on scales and they wouldn't weigh more than air!
10Don't trust in money made by extortion or robbery. Don't be proud of your wealth even if you are successful—don't make money what you live for.
11God has already made it clear—I have heard it many times—power belongs to you, God.
12You show us trustworthy love. You give back to people in return for what they've done.
