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 the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1My soul waiteth only upon God:
From him cometh my salvation.
2He only is my rock and my salvation:
He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.
3How long will ye set upon a man,
That ye may slay him, all of you,
Like a bowing wall, like a tottering fence?
4They only consult to thrust him down from his excellency;
They delight in lies:
They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah
5My soul, wait thou only upon God;
For my expectation is from him.
6He only is my rock and my salvation:
He is my high tower;
I shall not be moved.
7With God is my salvation and my glory:
The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8Trust in him at all times, ye people;
Pour out your heart before him:
God is a refuge for us. Selah
9Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie:
In the balances they will go up;
They are together lighter than vanity.
10Trust not in oppression,
And become not vain in robbery:
If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
11God hath spoken once,
Twice have I heard this;
That power belongeth unto God:
12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy:
For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
