Psalm 62 (WEBP)
[1] My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.
[2] He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.
[3] How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
[4] They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
[5] My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.
[6] He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.
[7] My salvation and my honor is with God. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
[8] Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.
[9] Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.
[10] Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.
[11] God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.
[12] Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.

Psalm 62 (KJVS)
[1] Truly§ my soul H5315 waiteth§ H1747 upon God: H430 From him cometh my salvation. H3444
[2] He only is my rock H6697 and my salvation; H3444 He is my defence;§ H4869 I shall not be greatly H7227 moved. H4131 (NiphImpf)
[3] How long will ye imagine mischief H2050 (PoelImpf) against a man? H376 Ye shall be slain H7523 (PualImpf) all of you: As a bowing H5186 (QalPasPtc) wall H7023 shall ye be, and as a tottering H1760 (QalPasPtc) fence. H1447
[4] They only consult H3289 (QalPerf) to cast him down H5080 (HiphInf) from his excellency: H7613 They delight H7521 (QalImpf) in lies: H3577 They bless H1288 (PielImpf) with their mouth, H6310 but they curse H7043 (PielImpf) inwardly.§ H7130 Selah. H5542
[5] My soul, H5315 wait H1826 (QalImpv) thou only upon God; H430 For my expectation H8615 is from him.
[6] He only is my rock H6697 and my salvation: H3444 He is my defence; H4869 I shall not be moved. H4131 (NiphImpf)
[7] In God H430 is my salvation H3468 and my glory: H3519 The rock H6697 of my strength, H5797 and my refuge, H4268 is in God. H430
[8] Trust H982 (QalImpv) in him at all times; H6256 ye people, H5971 Pour out H8210 (QalImpv) your heart H3824 before H6440 him: God H430 is a refuge H4268 for us. Selah. H5542
[9] Surely men H120 H1121 of low degree are vanity, H1892 and men H376 of high degree are a lie: H3577 To be laid H5927 (QalInf) in the balance, H3976 they are altogether§ H3162 lighter than vanity. H1892
[10] Trust H982 (QalImpf) not in oppression, H6233 and become not vain H1891 (QalImpf) in robbery: H1498 If riches H2428 increase, H5107 (QalImpf) set H7896 (QalImpf) not your heart H3820 upon them.
[11] God H430 hath spoken H1696 (PielPerf) once; H259 Twice H8147 have I heard H8085 (QalPerf) this; H2098 That power§ H5797 belongeth unto God. H430
[12] Also unto thee, O Lord, H136 belongeth mercy: H2617 For thou renderest H7999 (PielImpf) to every man H376 according to his work. H4639

[1] [61:1] εις το τελος υπερ ιδιθουν ψαλμος τω δαυιδ [61:2] ουχι τω θεω υποταγησεται η ψυχη μου παρ αυτου γαρ το σωτηριον μου
[2] [61:3] και γαρ αυτος θεος μου και σωτηρ μου αντιλημπτωρ μου ου μη σαλευθω επι πλειον
[3] [61:4] εως ποτε επιτιθεσθε επ ανθρωπον φονευετε παντες ως τοιχω κεκλιμενω και φραγμω ωσμενω
[4] [61:5] πλην την τιμην μου εβουλευσαντο απωσασθαι εδραμον εν ψευδει τω στοματι αυτων ευλογουσαν και τη καρδια αυτων κατηρωντο διαψαλμα
[5] [61:6] πλην τω θεω υποταγηθι η ψυχη μου οτι παρ αυτου η υπομονη μου
[6] [61:7] οτι αυτος θεος μου και σωτηρ μου αντιλημπτωρ μου ου μη μεταναστευσω
[7] [61:8] επι τω θεω το σωτηριον μου και η δοξα μου ο θεος της βοηθειας μου και η ελπις μου επι τω θεω
[8] [61:9] ελπισατε επ αυτον πασα συναγωγη λαου εκχεετε ενωπιον αυτου τας καρδιας υμων ο θεος βοηθος ημων διαψαλμα
[9] [61:10] πλην ματαιοι οι υιοι των ανθρωπων ψευδεις οι υιοι των ανθρωπων εν ζυγοις του αδικησαι αυτοι εκ ματαιοτητος επι το αυτο
[10] [61:11] μη ελπιζετε επι αδικιαν και επι αρπαγμα μη επιποθειτε πλουτος εαν ρεη μη προστιθεσθε καρδιαν
[11] [61:12] απαξ ελαλησεν ο θεος δυο ταυτα ηκουσα
[12] [61:13] οτι το κρατος του θεου και σοι κυριε το ελεος οτι συ αποδωσεις εκαστω κατα τα εργα αυτου
