Psalms 62

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.	1 [For the choirmaster . . . Jeduthun Psalm Of David] In God alone there is rest for my soul, from himcomes my safety;
2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.	2 he alone is my rock, my safety, my stronghold so that I stand unshaken.
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.	3 How much longer wil you set on a victim, al together, intent on murder, like a rampart already leaningover, a wall already damaged?
4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.	4 Trickery is their only plan, deception their only pleasure, with lies on their lips they pronounce ablessing, with a curse in their hearts.Pause
5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.	5 Rest in God alone, my soul! He is the source of my hope.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.	6 He alone is my rock, my safety, my stronghold, so that I stand unwavering.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.	7 In God is my safety and my glory, the rock of my strength. In God is my refuge;
8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.	8 trust in him, you people, at al times. Pour out your hearts to him, God is a refuge for us.Pause
9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.	9 Ordinary people are a mere puff of wind, important people a delusion; set both on the scales together,and they are lighter than a puff of wind.
10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.	10 Put no trust in extortion, no empty hopes in robbery; however much wealth may multiply, do not setyour heart on it.
11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.	11 Once God has spoken, twice have I heard this: Strength belongs to God,
12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.	12 to you, Lord, faithful love; and you repay everyone as their deeds deserve.
