Psal. 62. Nonne Deo?
Ad Præstantem, apud Jeduthun. Psalmus Davidis.
1
On God my silent soule attends,his seasons (surely) heeds:
To him my safeties care commends,
from whom my health proceeds.
2
He surely is my Rocke of power,and my salvation prov'd:
My hold, my high-defensive tower,
I shall not much be mov'd.
3
How long on mischiefe will ye thinke?Man-slayers, slaughtred all,
Ye like a ruin'd fense shall sinke,
and like a shaken wall.
4
His dignity how to suppresse,their counsells they convert:
Delight in lies, with mouth they blesse,
but curse within their heart.
5
On God, yet never thou the lesse,my silent soule, attend:
From whom my hopefull patientnesse
expects a happy end.
6
He surely is my Rocke of power,and my salvation prov'd:
My hold, my high-defensive tower,
I shall not be remov'd.

7
In God is my Salvations port,my Glories lofty crest,
Rocke of my strength, in God my Fort,
my Confidences rest.
8
O people, trust in him alway,your heart before him powre:
For of our hopes God is the stay,
our safeties trusty towre.
9
Sure, Adams sonnes are vanitie,and lighter in account:
The best together weigh'd, a lie,
and make the ballance mount.
10
Trust not in wrong, to reap your part,in rapine be not vaine:
If wealth encrease, set not your heart
on baited lures of gaine.
11
God spake at once, which twice I heard,“To God the power pertaines;
Of punishment, and of reward,
of pardons, and of paines.
12
And mercy, Lord, in thee aloneexceeds, from thee proceeds:
For thou wilt render every one
according to his deeds.
