For the end, a Psalm of David for Idithun.
62:1 Shall not my soul be subjected to Elohim? for of him is my salvation.
62:2 For he is my Elohim, and my saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved very
much.
62:3 How long will ye assault a man? ye are all slaughtering as with a bowed
wall and a broken hedge.62:4 They only took counsel to set at nought mine
honour: I ran in thirst: with their mouth they blessed, but with their heart
they cursed. Pause.
62:5 Nevertheless do thou, my soul, be subjected to Elohim; for of him [is] my
patient hope.
62:6 For he [is] my Elohim and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved.
62:7 In Elohim [is] my salvation and my glory: [he is] the Elohim of my help, and
my hope is in Elohim.
62:8 Hope in him, all ye congregation of the people; pour out your hearts
before him, for Elohim is our helper. Pause.
62:9 But the sons of men are vain; the sons of men are false, so as to be
deceitful in the balances; they are all alike [formed] out of vanity.
62:10 Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth
should flow in, set not your heart upon it.
62:11 Elohim has spoken once, [and] I have heard these two things, that power
is of Elohim;
62:12 and mercy is thine, O Yehovah; for thou wilt recompense every one
according to his works. |
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm
of David. 62:1 Truly my soul waiteth upon Elohim: from him cometh my
salvation.
62:2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be
greatly moved.
62:3 How 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.
62:4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in
lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon Elohim; for my expectation is from him.
62:6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be
moved.
62:7 In Elohim is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my
refuge, is in Elohim.
62:8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him:
Elohim is a refuge for us. Selah.
62:9 Surely 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.
62:10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches
increase, set not your heart upon them.
62:11 Elohim hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth
unto Elohim.
62:12 Also unto thee, O Yehovah, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every
man according to his work. |
