Psalm 62
Jubilee Bible 2000

To the Overcomer, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.

1 ¶ Only in God does my soul rest; from him comes my saving health.

2 He only is my rock and my saving health; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? Shall ye murder each other until ye are as a bowing wall and as a tottering fence?

4 They only consult to cast him down from his greatness; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse in their inward parts. Selah.

5 My soul, rest thou only in God, for my hope is from him.

6 He only is my rock and my saving health; he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

7 In God is my saving health and my glory; the rock of my strength and my refuge is in God.

8 ¶ Wait in him at all times; ye peoples, pour out your heart before him; God is our refuge. Selah.

9 Surely the sons of Adam are vanity, and the sons of nobles are a lie; to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

10 Trust not in violence and become not vain in the taking of spoil; if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

11 God has spoken once; twice have I heard this that power belongs unto God.

12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongs mercy, for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

Psalm 62
New International Version

Psalm 62[a]

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

1 Truly my soul finds rest(A) in God;(B)
    my salvation comes from him.
2 Truly he is my rock(C) and my salvation;(D)
    he is my fortress,(E) I will never be shaken.(F)

3 How long will you assault me?
    Would all of you throw me down—
    this leaning wall,(G) this tottering fence?
4 Surely they intend to topple me
    from my lofty place;
    they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
    but in their hearts they curse.[b](H)

5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God;(I)
    my hope comes from him.
6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
    he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and my honor depend on God[c];
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.(J)
8 Trust in him at all times, you people;(K)
    pour out your hearts to him,(L)
    for God is our refuge.

9 Surely the lowborn(M) are but a breath,(N)
    the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance,(O) they are nothing;
    together they are only a breath.
10 Do not trust in extortion(P)
    or put vain hope in stolen goods;(Q)
though your riches increase,
    do not set your heart on them.(R)

11 One thing God has spoken,
    two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,(S)
12     and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;(T)
and, “You reward everyone
    according to what they have done.”(U)
