Psalms 62 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Berean Study Bible
Psalms 62
1My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From himcomethmy salvation.
2He only is my rock and my salvation: He ismy high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.
3How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
4They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. [Selah
5My soul, wait thou in silence for God only; For my expectation is from him.
6He only is my rock and my salvation: He ismy high tower; I shall not be moved.
7With God is my salvation and my glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8Trust in him at all times, ye people; Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. [Selah
9Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.
10Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
11God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God.
12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness; For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
Psalms 62
1In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.
2He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.
3How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?
4They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. Selah
5Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.
6He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.
7My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God.
8Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge. Selah
9Lowborn men are but a vapor, the exalted but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.
10Place no trust in extortion, or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.
11God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God,
12and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man according to his deeds.
