Tehillim 62

2Truly my nefesh waiteth silently upon Elohim;[#62:2 in submission]

from Him cometh my Yeshu'ah (salvation) .

3Truly He is my Tzur and my Yeshu'ah (salvation) ;

He is my stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

4How long will ye rush to attack an ish?

To thrust at, all of you,

as at a leaning kir (wall) ,

and as at a tottering gader (fence) .

5Truly they consult to bring down a person of prominence;

they delight in kazav (lie, falsehood, deceptive thing) ;

they make a brocha with their mouth,

but they curse inwardly.

Selah

6Truly in Elohim wait silently, my nefesh,[#62:6 in submission]

for my tikvah (hope) is from Him.

7Truly He is my Tzur and my Yeshu'ah (salvation) ;

He is my stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

8In Elohim is my salvation and my Kavod:

the Tzur of my strength, and my refuge, is in Elohim.

9Trust in Him at all time ye people,

pour out your lev before Him;

Elohim is a refuge for us.

Selah

10Truly Bnei Adam (those of low estate) are hevel (vanity) ,

and Bnei Ish (those who are highborn) are kazav (a lie) ;

they go up in the balances;

they are altogether lighter than hevel (vanity) .

11Trust not in oshek (oppression, extortion)

and become not vain in gazel (the thing taken as plunder) ;

if riches increase,

set not your lev upon them.

12Elohim hath spoken once;

twice have I heard this;

that oz (strength) belongeth unto Elohim.

13Also unto Thee, Adonoi, belongeth chesed;

for Thou renderest to ish (every man) according to his ma'asim (deeds) .
