Psalms 62:2-9 in English

² He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

³ How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

⁴ They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah

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

⁶ He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my high tower; I shall not be moved.

⁷ With God is my salvation and my glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

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

⁹ Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.

² O God, my God, I cry to thee early; my soul has thirsted for thee: how often has my flesh longed after thee, in a barren and trackless and dry land!

³ Thus have I appeared before thee in the sanctuary, that I might see thy power and thy glory.

⁴ For thy mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.

⁵ Thus will I bless thee during my life: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

⁶ Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and my joyful lips shall praise thy name.

⁷ Forasmuch as I have remembered thee on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on thee.

⁸ For thou hast been my helper, and in the shelter of thy wings will I rejoice.

⁹ My soul has kept very close behind thee: thy right hand has upheld me.

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

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.

² Only he is like an overhanging rock under which I can be safe MET; he will be like a shelter, with the result that I will never be defeated MET.

³ When will you, my enemies, stop attacking me RHQ? I feel that I am as useless against you as a wall that is about to fall over or a broken-down fence MET.

⁴ My enemies plan to remove me from my important position so that people no longer honor me. They delight in telling lies. They bless people by what they say MTY, but in their inner beings they curse those people.

⁵ God is the only one who gives me peace in my inner being; he is the one whom I confidently expect to help me.

⁶ Only he is like an overhanging rock under which I can be safe MET; he is like a shelter, and as a result I will never be defeated.

⁷ God is the one who saves me and honors me. He is like an overhanging strong rock under which I can find shelter MET.

⁸ You my people, always trust in him. Tell him all your troubles, because he is ◄our refuge/the one who protects us► MET.

⁹ People who are considered to be unimportant are as worthless/unreliable as a breath of air; people who are considered to be important also really ◄amount to nothing/cannot be trusted to help us►. If you put them all on a scale, it would be as if they weighed less than a puff of air.

² Thus have I appeared before you in the sanctuary, that I might see your power and your glory.

³ For your mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise you.

⁷ For you have been my helper, and in the shelter of your wings will I rejoice.

⁸ My soul has kept very close behind you: your right hand has upheld me.

⁹ But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts o the earth.

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

³ How long will you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?

² He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.

³ How long will ye assail a man; will ye seek, all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?

⁴ They only consult to thrust him down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah.

⁵ Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.

⁶ He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.

⁷ With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

⁹ Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together lighter than vanity.

² O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!

³ In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.

⁴ For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips shall praise.

⁵ Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.

⁶ Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.

³ How long are you going to attack me? All of you against one man! To you I'm just a broken wall, a collapsed fence.

⁸ My people, always trust in him. Pour out all your thoughts to him, for he is the one who looks after us. Selah.

⁹ Ordinary people are mere breaths, while leaders are just fakes. Put them all together and weigh them on scales and they wouldn't weigh more than air!

² Yet he is my strength and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not much be mooued.

³ How long wil ye imagine mischiefe against a man? ye shalbe all slaine: ye shalbe as a bowed wall, or as a wall shaken.
