Psalm 62
Common English Bible

Psalm 62

For the music leader. According to Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

62 Only in God do I[a] find rest;
    my salvation comes from him.
2 Only God is my rock and my salvation—
    my stronghold!—I won’t be shaken anymore.

3 How long will all of you attack others;
    how long will you tear them down[b]
    as if they were leaning walls or broken-down fences?
4 The only desire of this people
    is to bring others down low;
    they delight in deception.
With their mouths they bless,
    but inside they are cursing. Selah

5 Oh, I[c] must find rest in God only,
    because my hope comes from him!
6 Only God is my rock and my salvation—
    my stronghold!—I will not be shaken.
7 My deliverance and glory depend on God.
    God is my strong rock.
    My refuge is in God.
8 All you people: Trust in him at all times!
    Pour out your hearts before him!
    God is our refuge! Selah

9 Human beings are nothing but a breath.
    Human beings are nothing but lies.
    They don’t even register on a scale;
    taken all together they are lighter than a breath!
10 Don’t trust in violence;
    don’t set false hopes in robbery.
When wealth bears fruit,
    don’t set your heart on it.
11 God has spoken one thing—
    make it two things—
    that I myself have heard:
    that strength belongs to God,
12     and faithful love comes from you, my Lord—
    and that you will repay
    everyone according to their deeds.

Psalm 62
New King James Version

A Calm Resolve to Wait for the Salvation of God

To the Chief Musician. To (A)Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

62 Truly (B)my soul silently waits for God;
From Him comes my salvation.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation;
He is my [a]defense;
I shall not be greatly (C)moved.[b]

3 How long will you attack a man?
You shall be slain, all of you,
(D)Like a leaning wall and a tottering fence.
4 They only consult to cast him down from his high position;
They (E)delight in lies;
They bless with their mouth,
But they curse inwardly. Selah

5 My soul, wait silently for God alone,
For my [c]expectation is from Him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation;
He is my defense;
I shall not be [d]moved.
7 (F)In 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, you people;
(G)Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah

9 (H)Surely men of low degree are [e]a vapor,
Men of high degree are a lie;
If they are weighed on the scales,
They are altogether lighter than vapor.
10 Do not trust in oppression,
Nor vainly hope in robbery;
(I)If riches increase,
Do not set your heart on them.

11 God has spoken once,
Twice I have heard this:
That power belongs to God.
12 Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy;
For (J)You [f]render to each one according to his work.

Psalm 62
English Standard Version

My Soul Waits for God Alone

To the choirmaster: according to (A)Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

62 For God alone (B)my soul (C)waits in silence;
    from him comes my salvation.
2 (D)He alone is my rock and my salvation,
    my (E)fortress; (F)I shall not be greatly shaken.

3 How long will all of you attack a man
    to batter him,
    like (G)a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
4 They only plan to thrust him down from his (H)high position.
    They take pleasure in falsehood.
(I)They bless with their mouths,
    but inwardly they curse. Selah

5 For God alone, O (J)my soul, wait in silence,
    for my hope is from him.
6 (K)He only is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
7 On God rests my (L)salvation and my glory;
    my mighty rock, (M)my refuge is God.

8 (N)Trust in him at all times, O people;
    (O)pour out your heart before him;
    God is (P)a refuge for us. Selah

9 (Q)Those of low estate are but a breath;
    those of high estate (R)are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
    (S)they are together lighter than a breath.
10 Put no trust in extortion;
    (T)set no vain hopes on robbery;
    (U)if riches increase, set not your heart on them.

11 (V)Once God has spoken;
    (W)twice have I heard this:
that (X)power belongs to God,
12     and that to you, O Lord, (Y)belongs steadfast love.
For you will (Z)render to a man
    according to his work.

Psalmi 62
Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod

Samo u Bogu je sigurnost

Voditelju zbora, Jedutunu. Davidova pjesma.

62 Samo je u Bogu moja duša smirena,
    jedino u njemu je sigurna.
2 Samo on je moja stijena i moje spasenje.
    On je moja utvrda,
    gdje me nitko ne potresa.

3 Dokle ćete me napadati?
    Svi me želite oboriti
dok sam poput nagnutog zida
    ili klimave ograde.
4 Urotu su skovali protiv mene,
    da me s uzvišenog mjesta obore.
Uživaju u lažima,
    ustima blagoslivljaju,
    a u sebi proklinju. Selah

5 Samo je u Bogu moja duša smirena,
    on mi je nada jedina.
6 Samo on je moja stijena i moje spasenje.
    On je moja utvrda
    gdje me nitko ne potresa.

7 On me izbavlja i brani moju čast.
    Bog mi je čvrsta stijena i utočište.
8 Ljudi, u njega se uvijek pouzdajte,
    svoje srce pred njim izlijevajte.
    Bog je naše utočište. Selah

9 Ljudska bića samo su dah,
    u njih se ne može pouzdati.
Da ih se sve izvaže,
    od daha bi lakši bili.
10 Ne oslanjajte se na nasilje,
    ne nadajte se koristi od pljačke.
Ako vam se uveća imetak,
    neka vam se srce za njega ne veže.

11 Bog je jednom rekao,
    a ja sam vrlo jasno čuo:
    »Od Boga dolazi snaga!«
12 Gospodaru, tvoja ljubav je stalna.
    Ti svakom vraćaš prema njegovim djelima.

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)
