Image is to set the theme, not to be accurate.

To the director, Jeduthun. ^{[ a ]} A song of David.

62 I must calm down and turn to God;
only he can rescue me.
² He is my Rock, the only one who can save me.
He is my high place of safety, where no army can defeat me.

³ How long will you people attack me?
Do you all want to kill me?
I am like a leaning wall,
like a fence ready to fall.
⁴ You want only to destroy me,
to bring me down from my important position.
It makes you happy to tell lies about me.
In public, you say nice things,
but in private, you curse me. Selah

⁵ I must calm down and turn to God;
he is my only hope.
⁶ He is my Rock, the only one who can save me.
He is my high place of safety, where no army can defeat me.
⁷ My victory and honor come from God.
He is the mighty Rock, where I am safe.
⁸ People, always put your trust in God!
Tell him all your problems.
God is our place of safety. Selah

⁹ People cannot really help.
You cannot depend on them.
Compared to God, they are nothing—
no more than a gentle puff of air!
¹⁰ Don’t trust in your power to take things by force.
Don’t think you will gain anything by stealing.
And if you become wealthy,
don’t put your trust in riches.
¹¹ God says there is one thing you can really depend on, and I believe it:
“Strength comes from God!”

¹² My Lord, your love is real.
You reward all people for what they do.

God alone a refuge from treachery and oppression.

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

62 My soul ^{[ a ]} waiteth in silence for God only:
From him cometh my salvation.
² He only is my rock and my salvation:
He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.
³ How long will ye set upon a man,
^{[ b ]} That ye may slay him , all of you,
Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
⁴ They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity;
They delight in lies;
They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah
⁵ My soul, ^{[ c ]} wait thou in silence for God only;
For my expectation is from him.
⁶ He only is my rock and my salvation:
He is my high tower; I shall not be moved.
⁷ With God is my salvation and my glory:
The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
⁸ Trust in him at all times, ye people;
Pour out your heart before him:
God is a refuge for us. Selah
⁹ Surely men of low degree are ^{[ d ]} vanity, and men of high degree are a lie:
In the balances they will go up;
They are together lighter than vanity.
¹⁰ Trust not in oppression,
And become not vain in robbery:
If riches increase, set not your heart thereon .
¹¹ God hath spoken once,
Twice have I heard this,
That power belongeth unto God.
¹² Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness;
For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
