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

PSALM 62
1 To victory, over Jeduthun, the psalm of David. Whether my soul shall not be subject to God; for mine health is of him.
2For why he is both my God, and mine health; mine up-taker, I shall no more be moved.
3How long fall ye on a man? all ye slain; as to a wall bowed, and as a wall of stone without mortar cast down.
4Nevertheless they thought to put away my price, I ran in thirst; with their mouth they blessed, and in their heart they cursed.
5Nevertheless, my soul, be thou subject to God; for my patience is of him.
6For he is my God, and my saviour; mine helper, I shall not pass out.
7Mine health, and my glory is in God; God is the giver of mine help, and mine hope is in God.
8All the gathering together of the people, hope ye in God, pour ye out your hearts before him; God is our helper without end.
9Nevertheless the sons of men be vain; the sons of men be liars in balances, that they deceive of vanity into the same thing.
10Do not ye have hope in wicked-ness, and do not ye covet ravens; if riches be plenteous, do not ye set the heart thereto.
11God spake once, I heard these two things; that power is of God,
12and, thou Lord, mercy is to thee; for thou shalt yield to each man by his works.
