Psalm 62, side by side
Two versions of the same chapter. Each row is one verse, so you can see how the wording changes.
1My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.
1Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
2He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.
2He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
3How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.
4They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.
5My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.
6He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7My salvation and my honor is with God. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
7In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us.
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 just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.
9Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.
10Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.
11God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
12Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
