Psalm 62
For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by David.
1 My soul
rests in God alone.
My salvation is
from him.
2 He
alone is my rock,
my salvation, and
my fortress.
I will never
be greatly shaken.
3 How
long will
you assault a man?
Would all of
you throw him down,
like a leaning wall,
like a tottering fence?
4 They
fully intend to throw
him down from
his lofty place.
They delight in lies.
They bless with
their mouth, but
they curse inwardly.
Selah.
5 My soul, wait
in silence for God alone,
for my expectation
is from him.
6 He
alone is my rock
and my salvation,
my fortress.
I will not
be shaken.
7 My
salvation and
my honor is with
God.
The rock of
my strength, and
my refuge, is
in God.
8 Trust
in him at
all times, you people.
Pour out your heart
before him.
God is a
refuge for us.
Selah.
9 Surely 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.
10 Don’t trust
in oppression.
Don’t become vain
in robbery.
If riches increase,
don’t set your heart
on them.
11 God
has spoken once;
twice I have
heard this,
that power belongs
to God.
12 Also
to you, Lord, belongs loving
kindness,
for you reward
every man according to
his work.
