PSALM 62

God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.

For the choir director; †according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1 aMy soul waits in silence for God only;

From Him bis my salvation.

2 He only is my arock and my salvation,

My bstronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

3 How long will you assail a man,

That you may murder him, all of you,

Like a aleaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position;

They adelight in falsehood;

They bbless with 1their mouth,

But inwardly they curse.

2Selah.

5 My soul, await in silence for God only,

For my hope is from Him.

6 He only is amy rock and my salvation,

My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

7 On God my asalvation and my glory rest;

The rock of my strength, my brefuge is in God.

8 aTrust in Him at all times, O people;

bPour out your heart before Him;

God is a refuge for us.

Selah.

9 Men of alow degree are only bvanity and men of rank are a clie;

In the dbalances they go up;

They are together lighter than breath.

10 aDo not trust in oppression

And do not 1vainly hope in brobbery;

If riches increase, cdo not set your heart upon them.

11 1Once God has aspoken;

2Twice I have heard this:

That bpower belongs to God;

12 And lovingkindness ais Yours, O Lord,

For You brecompense a man according to his work.
