Psalms 062
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.
