Psalm 62

PSALM 62

God Is a Refuge for Us

For the choir director. According to ^†Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

^1aSurely my soul waits in silence for God;

From Him ^bis my salvation.

²Surely He is my ^arock and my salvation,

My ^bstronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

³How long will you assail a man,

That you may murder him, all of you,

Like a ^aleaning wall, like a fence thrust down?

⁴Surely they have counseled to thrust him down from his high position;

They ^afind pleasure in falsehood;

They ^bbless with ¹their mouth,

But inwardly they curse. ²Selah.

⁵Surely ^await in silence for God, O my soul,

For my hope is from Him.

⁶Surely He is ^amy rock and my salvation,

My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

⁷On God my ^asalvation and my glory rest;

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

^8aTrust in Him at all times, O people;

^bPour out your heart before Him;

God is a refuge for us. Selah.

⁹Surely ¹men of ^alow degree are merely ^bvanity and ²men of rank are a ^clie;

In the ^dbalances they go up;

They are together lighter than a breath of vanity.

^10aDo not trust in oppression

And do not put vain hope in ^brobbery;

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

¹¹¹Once God has ^aspoken;

²Twice I have heard this:

That ^bstrength belongs to God;

¹²And that ^ato You, O Lord, belongs lovingkindness,

For You ^brepay a man according to his work.
