Psalm 62 in Hebrew and English

1לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־יְדוּתוּן מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד׃

For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

2אַךְ אֶל־אֱלֹהִים דּוּמִיָּה נַפְשִׁי מִמֶּנּוּ יְשׁוּעָתִי׃

Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; From Him cometh my salvation.

3אַךְ־הוּא צוּרִי וִישׁוּעָתִי מִשְׂגַּבִּי לֹא־אֶמּוֹט רַבָּה׃

He only is my rock and my salvation, My high tower, I shall not be greatly moved.

4עַד־אָנָה תְּהוֹתְתוּ עַל אִישׁ תְּרָצְּחוּ כֻלְּכֶם כְּקִיר נָטוּי גָּדֵר הַדְּחוּיָה׃

How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him, all of you, As a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

5אַךְ מִשְּׂאֵתוֹ יָעֲצוּ לְהַדִּיחַ יִרְצוּ כָזָב בְּפִיו יְבָרֵכוּ וּבְקִרְבָּם יְקַלְלוּ־סֶלָה׃

They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah

6אַךְ לֵאלֹהִים דּוֹמִּי נַפְשִׁי כִּי־מִמֶּנּוּ תִּקְוָתִי׃

Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul; For from Him cometh my hope.

7אַךְ־הוּא צוּרִי וִישׁוּעָתִי מִשְׂגַּבִּי לֹא אֶמּוֹט׃

He only is my rock and my salvation, My high tower, I shall not be moved.

8עַל־אֱלֹהִים יִשְׁעִי וּכְבוֹדִי צוּר־עֻזִּי מַחְסִי בֵּאלֹהִים׃

Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

9בִּטְחוּ בוֹ בְכָל־עֵת עָם שִׁפְכוּ־לְפָנָיו לְבַבְכֶם אֱלֹהִים מַחֲסֶה־לָּנוּ סֶלָה׃

Trust in Him at all times, ye people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah

10אַךְ הֶבֶל בְּנֵי־אָדָם כָּזָב בְּנֵי אִישׁ בְּמֹאזְנַיִם לַעֲלוֹת הֵמָּה מֵהֶבֶל יָחַד׃

Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; If they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.

11אַל־תִּבְטְחוּ בְעֹשֶׁק וּבְגָזֵל אַל־תֶּהְבָּלוּ חַיִל כִּי־יָנוּב אַל־תָּשִׁיתוּ לֵב׃

Trust not in oppression, And put not vain hope in robbery; If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

12אַחַת דִּבֶּר אֱלֹהִים שְׁתַּיִם־זוּ שָׁמָעְתִּי כִּי עֹז לֵאלֹהִים׃

God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this: That strength belongeth unto God;

13וּלְךָ־אֲדֹנָי חָסֶד כִּי־אַתָּה תְשַׁלֵּם לְאִישׁ כְּמַעֲשֵׂהוּ׃

Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; For Thou renderest to every man according to his work.
