Psalm 62, side by side

¹For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.

¹Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.

²He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.

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

³How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or 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 cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. Selah

⁴They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

⁵Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.

⁵My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

⁶He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is 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 rest on God, my strong rock; 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, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge. Selah

⁸Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

⁹Lowborn men are but a vapor, the exalted but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.

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.

¹⁰Place no trust in extortion, or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

¹⁰Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

¹¹God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God,

¹¹God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

¹²and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man according to his deeds.

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