Psalm 62

For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by David.

62 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.
