Tehillim 62

Orthodox Jewish Bible

62 (For the one directing. According to Yedutun. Mizmor of Dovid.) Truly my nefesh waiteth silently [in submission] upon Elohim; from Him cometh my Yeshuah (salvation).

²⁽³⁾Truly He is my Tzur and my Yeshuah (salvation); He is my stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

³⁽⁴⁾How long will ye rush to attack an ish? To thrust at, all of you, as at a leaning kir (wall), and as at a tottering gader (fence).

⁴⁽⁵⁾Truly they consult to bring down a person of prominence; they delight in kazav (lie, falsehood, deceptive thing); they make a brocha with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

⁵⁽⁶⁾Truly in Elohim wait silently [in submission], my nefesh, for my tikvah (hope) is from Him.

⁶⁽⁷⁾Truly He is my Tzur and my Yeshuah (salvation); He is my stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

⁷⁽⁸⁾In Elohim is my salvation and my Kavod: the Tzur of my strength, and my refuge, is in Elohim.

⁸⁽⁹⁾Trust in Him at all time; ye people, pour out your lev before Him; Elohim is a refuge for us. Selah.

⁹⁽¹⁰⁾Truly Bnei Adam (those of low estate) are hevel (vanity), and Bnei Ish (those who are highborn) are kazav (a lie); they go up in the balances; they are altogether lighter than hevel (vanity).

¹⁰⁽¹¹⁾Trust not in oshek (oppression, extortion) and become not vain in gazel (the thing taken as plunder); if riches increase, set not your lev upon them.

¹¹⁽¹²⁾Elohim hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that oz (strength) belongeth unto Elohim.

¹²⁽¹³⁾Also unto Thee, Adonoi, belongeth chesed; for Thou renderest to ish (every man) according to his ma’asim (deeds).

Psalm 62

New International Version

Psalm 62^[a]

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

¹Truly my soul finds rest^(A) in God;^(B)
my salvation comes from him.
²Truly he is my rock^(C) and my salvation;^(D)
he is my fortress,^(E) I will never be shaken.^(F)

³How long will you assault me?
    Would all of you throw me down—
    this leaning wall,^(G) this tottering fence?
⁴Surely they intend to topple me
    from my lofty place;
    they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
    but in their hearts they curse.^[b]^(H)

⁵Yes, my soul, find rest in God;^(I)
    my hope comes from him.
⁶Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
    he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
⁷My salvation and my honor depend on God^[c];
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.^(J)
⁸Trust in him at all times, you people;^(K)
    pour out your hearts to him,^(L)
    for God is our refuge.

⁹Surely the lowborn^(M) are but a breath,^(N)
    the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance,^(O) they are nothing;
    together they are only a breath.
¹⁰Do not trust in extortion^(P)
    or put vain hope in stolen goods;^(Q)
though your riches increase,
    do not set your heart on them.^(R)

¹¹One thing God has spoken,
    two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,^(S)
¹²    and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;^(T)
and, “You reward everyone
    according to what they have done.”^(U)
