12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
12 Also unto thee, O Lord, H136 belongeth mercy: H2617 for thou renderest H7999 to every man H376 according to his work. H4639
12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness; For thou renderest to every man according to his work. Psalm 63 A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
12 And with Thee, O Lord, `is' kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!
12 And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness; for *thou* renderest to every man according to his work.
12 Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, For you reward every man according to his work.
12 And mercy, O Lord, is yours, for you give to every man the reward of his work.
For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

Commentary on Psalms 62 Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
PSALM 62
Ps 62:1-12. To Jeduthun—(See on Ps 39:1, title). The general tone of this Psalm is expressive of confidence in God. Occasion is taken to remind the wicked of their sin, their ruin, and their meanness.
1. waiteth—literally, "is silent," trusts submissively and confidently as a servant.
2. The titles applied to God often occur (Ps 9:9; 18:2).
be greatly moved—(Ps 10:6). No injury shall be permanent, though devised by enemies.
3. Their destruction will come; as a tottering wall they already are feeble and failing.
bowing wall shall ye be—better supply "are." Some propose to apply these phrases to describe the condition of "a man"—that is, the pious suffer: thus, "Will ye slay him," &c.; but the other is a good sense.
4. his excellency—or, elevation to which God had raised him (Ps 4:2). This they try to do by lies and duplicity (Ps 5:9).
5, 6. (Compare Ps 62:1, 2).
6. not be moved—not at all; his confidence has increased.
7. rock of my strength—or strongest support (Ps 7:10; 61:3).
8. pour out your heart—give full expression to feeling (1Sa 1:15; Job 30:16; Ps 42:4).
ye people—God's people.
9. No kind of men are reliable, compared with God (Isa 2:22; Jer 17:5).
altogether—alike, one as the other (Ps 34:3).
10. Not only are oppression and robbery, which are wicked means of wealth, no grounds of boasting; but even wealth, increasing lawfully, ought not to engross the heart.
11. once; twice—(as in Job 33:14; 40:5), are used to give emphasis to the sentiment. God's power is tempered by His mercy, which it also sustains.
12. for thou renderest—literally, "that Thou renderest," &c., connected with "I heard this," as the phrase—"that power," &c. [Ps 62:11]—teaching that by His power He can show both mercy and justice.
