Psalm 62

TRUST IN GOD ALONE

For the choir director: according to Jeduthun.a A psalm of David.

1 I am at rest in God alone;

my salvation comes from him.b

2 He alone is my rock and my salvation,c

my stronghold; I will never be shaken.d

3 How long will you threaten a man?

Will all of you attackA

as if he were a leaning wall

or a tottering fence?e

4 They only plan to bring him down

from his high position.

They take pleasure in lying;

they bless with their mouths,

but they curse inwardly.f

Selah

5 Rest in God alone, my soul,

for my hope comes from him.g

6 He alone is my rock and my salvation,h

my stronghold; I will not be shaken.i

7 My salvation and glory depend on God, my strong rock.

My refuge is in God.j

8 Trust in him at all times, you people;

pour out your hearts before him.

God is our refuge.k

Selah

9 Common people are only a vapor;

important people, an illusion.

Together on a scale,

they weigh less thanB a vapor.l

10 Place no trust in oppression

or false hope in robbery.

If wealth increases,

don’t set your heart on it.m

11 God has spoken once;

I have heard this twice:

strength belongs to God,n

12 and faithful love belongs to you, Lord.

For you repay each according to his works.o
