Psalms 62
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1(62-1) For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. (62-2) Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; from Him cometh my salvation.
1A psalm of David when he was in the desert of Edom.
2(62-3) He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be greatly moved.
2O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
3(62-4) How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may slay him, all of you, as a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
3In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
4(62-5) They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah
4For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips shall praise.
5(62-6) Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul; for from Him cometh my hope.
5Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
6(62-7) He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be moved.
6Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
7(62-8) Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
7If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:
8(62-9) Trust in Him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
8Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:
9(62-10) Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; if they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.
9My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.
10(62-11) Trust not in oppression, and put not vain hope in robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
10But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
11(62-12) God hath spoken once, twice have I heard this: that strength belongeth unto God;
11They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
12(62-13) Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; for Thou renderest to every man according to his work.
12But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
