Psalm 62
Expanded Bible

Trust Only in God

For the director of music. For Jeduthun [C a Levitical musician; 1 Chr. 16:41–42; 25:1, 6; 2 Chr. 5:12]. A psalm of David.

62 I ·find rest [wait quietly] in God;
    only he can ·save me [give me victory].
2 He is my rock [61:2] and my ·salvation [victory].
    He is my ·defender [fortress];
I will not be ·defeated [shaken].

3 How long will you ·attack [assault] someone?
    Will all of you ·kill [murder] that person?
    Who is like a leaning wall, like a fence ·ready to fall [that totters; C the wicked take advantage of the weak]?
4 They are planning to make that person ·fall [totter].
    They enjoy telling lies.
With their mouths they bless,
    but in their ·hearts [L innards] they curse. ·Selah [Interlude]

5 I ·find rest [wait quietly] in God;
    ·only he gives me hope [L for my hope is in him].
6 He is my rock [61:2] and my ·salvation [victory].
    He is my ·defender [fortress];
    I will not be ·defeated [shaken].
7 My ·honor [glory] and ·salvation [victory] come from God.
    He is my ·mighty [strong] rock and my ·protection [refuge].

8 People, ·trust [have confidence in] God all the time.
    ·Tell him all your problems [L Pour out your heart before him],
because God is our ·protection [refuge]. ·Selah [Interlude]

9 The least of people are only a ·breath [vapor; bubble; vanity],
    and even the greatest are just a ·lie [delusion].
On the scales, they ·weigh nothing [L go up];
    together they are only a ·breath [vapor; bubble; vanity].
10 Do not ·trust [have confidence] in ·force [oppression; extortion].
    Stealing is ·of no use [meaningless].
Even if you gain more riches,
    don’t ·put your trust in [L set your heart on] them.

11 God has said this once,
    and I have heard it ·over and over [L twice]:
    God is strong.
12 The Lord is ·loving [loyal].
    You ·reward [repay] people for what they have done [1 Pet. 1:17; Rev. 20:12–13; 22:12].

Salmos 62
La Biblia de las Américas

Dios, el único refugio

Para el director del coro; según Jedutún[a]. Salmo de David.

62 En Dios solamente espera en silencio mi alma(A);
de Él viene mi salvación(B).
2 Solo Él es mi roca y mi salvación(C),
mi baluarte(D), nunca seré sacudido[b].

3 ¿Hasta cuándo atacaréis a un hombre,
vosotros todos, para derribarlo[c],
como pared inclinada(E), como cerca que se tambalea?
4 Solamente consultan para derribarlo de su eminencia;
en la falsedad se deleitan(F);
bendicen con la boca,
pero por dentro maldicen(G). (Selah[d])

5 Alma mía, espera en silencio[e] solamente en Dios(H),
pues de Él viene mi esperanza.
6 Solo Él es mi roca y mi salvación(I),
mi refugio, nunca seré sacudido.
7 En Dios descansan mi salvación y mi gloria(J);
la roca de mi fortaleza, mi refugio, está en Dios(K).
8 Confiad en Él en todo tiempo(L), oh pueblo;
derramad vuestro corazón delante de Él(M);
Dios es nuestro refugio. (Selah)

9 Los hombres de baja condición(N) solo son vanidad(O), y los de alto rango son mentira(P);
en la balanza suben(Q),
todos juntos pesan menos que un soplo.
10 No confiéis en la opresión(R),
ni en el robo pongáis vuestra esperanza[f](S);
si las riquezas aumentan, no pongáis el corazón en ellas(T).

11 Una vez[g] ha hablado Dios(U);
dos veces he oído esto[h]:
Que de Dios es el poder(V);
12 y tuya es, oh Señor, la misericordia(W),
pues tú pagas al hombre conforme a sus obras(X).

Psalm 62
New International Version

Psalm 62[a]

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

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

3 How long will you assault me?
    Would all of you throw me down—
    this leaning wall,(G) this tottering fence?
4 Surely 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)

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

9 Surely 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.
10 Do 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)

11 One 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)
