Psalms 62

CLV(i) 1 {A Davidic Psalm{ Only in Elohim is my soul stilled; From Him comes my salvation. 2 He only is my Rock and my Salvation, My Impregnable Retreat; I shall not slip more." 3 How long shall you foes be hostile against a man, All of you, that you may murder him, As though he were a slanting sidewall Or a foundering stone dike? 4 They intrigue only to trip him up from his dignity; They approve of lies; With their mouth they bless, Yet within them, they are maledicting. {Interlude{ " 5 Only in Elohim be still, O my soul, For from Him comes my expectation." 6 He only is my Rock and my Salvation, My Impregnable Retreat; I shall not slip." 7 On Elohim rest my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in Elohim." 8 Trust in Him at all time, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; Elohim is our Refuge. {Interlude{ " 9 Common sons of Adam are only a transitory breath, Noted sons of man a lie; If brought up on the scales, They are less than a transitory breath altogether." 10 Do not trust in extortion, And in pillage, do not place vain hope; Though your estate be producing, do not set your heart on it." 11 Once Elohim has spoken; Two times have I heard this:That strength belongs to Elohim, 12 And to You, O Yahweh belongs benignity, For You Yourself shall pay each man according to his deeds."
