Psalms 62

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 For the leader; al Jeduthun. A psalm of David.	1 [For the choirmaster . . . Jeduthun Psalm Of David] In God alone there is rest for my soul, from himcomes my safety;
2 My soul rests in God alone, from whom comes my salvation.	2 he alone is my rock, my safety, my stronghold so that I stand unshaken.
3 God alone is my rock and salvation, my secure height; I shall never fall.	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 How long will you set upon people, all of you beating them down, As though they were a sagging fence or a battered wall?	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 Even from my place on high they plot to dislodge me. They delight in lies; they bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah	5 Rest in God alone, my soul! He is the source of my hope.
6 My soul, be at rest in God alone, from whom comes my hope.	6 He alone is my rock, my safety, my stronghold, so that I stand unwavering.
7 God alone is my rock and my salvation, my secure height; I shall not fall.	7 In God is my safety and my glory, the rock of my strength. In God is my refuge;
8 My safety and glory are with God, my strong rock and refuge.	8 trust in him, you people, at al times. Pour out your hearts to him, God is a refuge for us.Pause
9 Trust God at all times, my people! Pour out your hearts to God our refuge! Selah	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 Mortals are a mere breath, the powerful but an illusion; On a balance they rise; together they are lighter than air.	10 Put no trust in extortion, no empty hopes in robbery; however much wealth may multiply, do not setyour heart on it.
11 Do not trust in extortion; in plunder put no empty hope. Though wealth increase, do not set your heart upon it.	11 Once God has spoken, twice have I heard this: Strength belongs to God,
12 One thing God has said; two things I have heard: Power belongs to God;	12 to you, Lord, faithful love; and you repay everyone as their deeds deserve.
13 3) so too, Lord, does kindness, And you render to each of us according to our deeds.
