Psalms 62 Comparison: Bible in Basic English vs New Heart English Bible
Psalms 62
1My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my salvation.
2He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
3How long will you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?
4Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (Selah.)
5My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my hope.
6He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
7In God is my salvation, and my glory; the Rock of my strength, and my safe place.
8Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah.)
9Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath.
10Have no faith in the rewards of evil-doing, or in profits wrongly made: if your wealth is increased, do not put your hopes on it.
11Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's:
12And mercy, O Lord, is yours, for you give to every man the reward of his work.
Psalms 62
1My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.
2He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress- I will never be greatly shaken.
3How long will you assault a man, would all of you throw him down, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
4They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.
6He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.
7With God is my salvation and my honor. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8Trust in him at all times, O people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9Surely 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.
10Do not trust in oppression. Do not become vain in robbery. If riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
11God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.
12Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
