Psalm 62
ISV Parallel HCSB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionHolman Christian Standard Bible
1My soul rests quietly only when it looks to God; from him comes my deliverance.1For the choir director: according to Jeduthun. A Davidic psalm. I am at rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him.
2He alone is my rock, my deliverance, and my high tower; nothing will shake me.2He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I will never be shaken.
3How long will you rage against someone? Would you attack him as if he were a leaning wall or a tottering fence?3How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you attack as if he were a leaning wall or a tottering stone fence?
4They plan to cast him down from his exalted position. They delight in lies; their mouth utters blessings, while their heart is cursing. Interlude4They only plan to bring him down from his high position. They take pleasure in lying; they bless with their mouths, but they curse inwardly. Selah
5My soul, be quiet before God, for from him comes my hope.5Rest in God alone, my soul, for my hope comes from Him.
6He alone is my rock, my deliverance, and my high tower; nothing will shake me.6He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I will not be shaken.
7I rely on God who is my deliverance and my glory; he is my strong rock, and my refuge is in God.7My salvation and glory depend on God, my strong rock. My refuge is in God.
8People, in every situation put your trust in God; pour out your heart before him; for God is a refuge for us. Interlude8Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge. Selah
9Human beings are a mere vapor, while people in high positions are not what they appear. When they are placed on the scales, they weigh nothing; even when weighed together, they are less than nothing.9Men are only a vapor; exalted men, an illusion. Weighed in the scales, they go up; together they are less than a vapor.
10Don't trust in oppression or put false hope in stealing; if you become wealthy, do not set your heart on it.10Place no trust in oppression, or false hope in robbery. If wealth increases, pay no attention to it.
11God spoke once, but I heard it twice, "Power belongs to God."11God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: strength belongs to God,
12Also to you, Lord, belongs gracious love, because you reward each person according to what he does.12and faithful love belongs to You, LORD. For You repay each according to his works.
