Confidence in God’s Protectione

62 I wait patiently for God to save me;

I depend on him alone.

2He alone protects and saves me;

he is my defender, and I shall never be defeated.

3How much longer will all of you attack someone

who is no stronger than a broken-down fence?

4You only want to bring him down from his place of honour;

you take pleasure in lies.

You speak words of blessing,

but in your heart you curse him.

5I depend on God alone;

I put my hope in him.

6He alone protects and saves me;

he is my defender,

and I shall never be defeated.

7My salvation and honour depend on God;

he is my strong protector;

he is my shelter.

8Trust in God at all times, my people.

Tell him all your troubles, for he is our refuge.

Read in Logos
Psalm 62:5: For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

For God alone my soul waits in silence;

from him comes my salvation.

He alone is my rock and my salvation,

my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.

How long will all of you attack a man

to batter him,

like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

They only plan to thrust him down from his high position.

They take pleasure in falsehood.

They bless with their mouths,

but inwardly they curse. Selah

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,

for my hope is from him.

He only is my rock and my salvation,

my fortress; I shall not be shaken.

On God rests my salvation and my glory;

my mighty rock, my refuge is God.

Trust in him at all times, O people;

pour out your heart before him;

God is a refuge for us. Selah

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Truly my soul finds rest in God;

my salvation comes from him.

Truly he is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

How long will you assault me?

Would all of you throw me down—

this leaning wall, this tottering fence?

Surely they intend to topple me

from my lofty place;

they take delight in lies.

With their mouths they bless,

but in their hearts they curse.

Yes, my soul, find rest in God;

my hope comes from him.

Truly he is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

My salvation and my honor depend on God;

he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

Trust in him at all times, you people;

pour out your hearts to him,

for God is our refuge.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

I am at rest in God alone;

my salvation comes from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation,

my stronghold; I will never be shaken.

How long will you threaten a man?

Will all of you attack

as if he were a leaning wall

or a tottering fence?

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.

Selah

Rest in God alone, my soul,

for my hope comes from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation,

my stronghold; I will not be shaken.

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

My refuge is in God.

Trust in him at all times, you people;

pour out your hearts before him.

God is our refuge.

Selah

NLTNew Living Translation

I wait quietly before God,

for my victory comes from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation,

my fortress where I will never be shaken.

So many enemies against one man—

all of them trying to kill me.

To them I’m just a broken-down wall

or a tottering fence.

They plan to topple me from my high position.

They delight in telling lies about me.

They praise me to my face

but curse me in their hearts.

Interlude

Let all that I am wait quietly before God,

for my hope is in him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation,

my fortress where I will not be shaken.

My victory and honor come from God alone.

He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.

O my people, trust in him at all times.

Pour out your heart to him,

for God is our refuge.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Only for God my soul waits in silence.

From him is my salvation.

Only he is my rock and my salvation,

my high stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

How long will you attack a man?

All of you will be shattered

like a leaning wall, a tottering fence.

They only plan to thrust him down from his high position;

they are pleased with deception.

With their mouths they bless,

but inwardly they curse. Selah

Only for God wait in silence, O my soul,

because my hope is from him.

Only he is my rock and my salvation,

my high stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

On God rests my salvation and my glory;

God is my strong rock, my refuge.

Trust him at all times, O people;

pour out before him your heart.

God is a refuge for us. Selah

KJV 1900King James Version

Truly my soul waiteth upon God:

From him cometh my salvation.

He only is my rock and my salvation;

He is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

How long will ye imagine mischief against a man?

Ye shall be slain all of you:

As a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

They only consult to cast him down from his excellency:

They delight in lies:

They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

My soul, wait thou only upon God;

For my expectation is from him.

He only is my rock and my salvation:

He is my defence; I shall not be moved.

In God is my salvation and my glory:

The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

Trust in him at all times; ye people,

Pour out your heart before him:

God is a refuge for us. Selah.
