Psalm 62
NASB Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New American Standard Bible 1995New Living Translation
1For the choir director; according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. My soul waits in silence for God only; From Him is my salvation.1I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him.
2He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.2He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.
3How long will you assail a man, That you may murder him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?3So many enemies against one man— all of them trying to kill me. To them I’m just a broken-down wall or a tottering fence.
4They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouth, But inwardly they curse. Selah.4They plan to topple me from my high position. They delight in telling lies about me. They praise me to my face but curse me in their hearts. Interlude
5My soul, wait in silence for God only, For my hope is from Him.5Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.
6He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.6He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.
7On God my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.7My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.
8Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah.8O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge. Interlude
9Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie; In the balances they go up; They are together lighter than breath.9Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind, and the powerful are not what they appear to be. If you weigh them on the scales, together they are lighter than a breath of air.
10Do not trust in oppression And do not vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.10Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the center of your life.
11Once God has spoken; Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God;11God has spoken plainly, and I have heard it many times: Power, O God, belongs to you;
12And lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord, For You recompense a man according to his work.12unfailing love, O Lord, is yours. Surely you repay all people according to what they have done.
