Psalm 62
NLT Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New Living TranslationEnglish Standard Version
1I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him.1For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.
2He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.2He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.
3So many enemies against one man— all of them trying to kill me. To them I’m just a broken-down wall or a tottering fence.3How long will all of you attack a man to batter him, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
4They plan to topple me from my high position. They delight in telling lies about me. They praise me to my face but curse me in their hearts. Interlude4They only plan to thrust him down from his high position. They take pleasure in falsehood. They bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah
5Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.5For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.
6He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.6He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
7My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.7On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
8O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge. Interlude8Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
9Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind, and the powerful are not what they appear to be. If you weigh them on the scales, together they are lighter than a breath of air.9Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath.
10Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the center of your life.10Put no trust in extortion; set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
11God has spoken plainly, and I have heard it many times: Power, O God, belongs to you;11Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God,
12unfailing love, O Lord, is yours. Surely you repay all people according to what they have done.12and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For you will render to a man according to his work.
