Psalms 62

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 [For the choirmaster . . . Jeduthun Psalm Of David] In God alone there is rest for my soul, from himcomes my safety;	1 Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David.
2 he alone is my rock, my safety, my stronghold so that I stand unshaken.	2 Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.
3 How much longer wil you set on a victim, al together, intent on murder, like a rampart already leaningover, a wall already damaged?	3 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.
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	4 How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.
5 Rest in God alone, my soul! He is the source of my hope.	5 But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.
6 He alone is my rock, my safety, my stronghold, so that I stand unwavering.	6 But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.
7 In God is my safety and my glory, the rock of my strength. In God is my refuge;	7 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.
8 trust in him, you people, at al times. Pour out your hearts to him, God is a refuge for us.Pause	8 In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
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.	9 Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.
10 Put no trust in extortion, no empty hopes in robbery; however much wealth may multiply, do not setyour heart on it.	10 But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.
11 Once God has spoken, twice have I heard this: Strength belongs to God,	11 Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.
12 to you, Lord, faithful love; and you repay everyone as their deeds deserve.	12 God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,
	13 and mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
