Psalm 62:5–10

5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God;

my hope comes from him.

6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

7 My salvation and my honor depend on God;

he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

8 Trust in him at all times, you people;

pour out your hearts to him,

for God is our refuge.

9 Surely the lowborn are but a breath,

the highborn are but a lie.

If weighed on a balance, they are nothing;

together they are only a breath.

10 Do not trust in extortion

or put vain hope in stolen goods;

though your riches increase,

do not set your heart on them.

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

for my hope is from him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation,

my fortress; I shall not be shaken.

7 On God rests my salvation and my glory;

my mighty rock, my refuge is God.

8 Trust in him at all times, O people;

pour out your heart before him;

God is a refuge for us. Selah

9 Those of low estate are but a breath;

those of high estate are a delusion;

in the balances they go up;

they are together lighter than a breath.

10 Put no trust in extortion;

set no vain hopes on robbery;

if riches increase, set not your heart on them.

5 My soul, wait thou only upon God;

For my expectation is from him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation:

He is my defence; I shall not be moved.

7 In God is my salvation and my glory:

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

8 Trust in him at all times; ye people,

Pour out your heart before him:

God is a refuge for us. Selah.

9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie:

To be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

10 Trust not in oppression,

And become not vain in robbery:

If riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

5 Let all that I am wait quietly before God,

for my hope is in him.

6 He alone is my rock and my salvation,

my fortress where I will not be shaken.

7 My victory and honor come from God alone.

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

8 O my people, trust in him at all times.

Pour out your heart to him,

for God is our refuge.

Interlude

9 Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind,

and the powerful are not what they appear to be.

If you weigh them on the scales,

together they are lighter than a breath of air.

10 Don’t make your living by extortion

or put your hope in stealing.

And if your wealth increases,

don’t make it the center of your life.

5 My soul, wait silently for God alone,

For my expectation is from Him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation;

He is my defense;

I shall not be moved.

7 In God is my salvation and my glory;

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 a vapor,

Men of high degree are a lie;

If they are weighed on the scales,

They are altogether lighter than vapor.

10 Do not trust in oppression,

Nor vainly hope in robbery;

If riches increase,

Do not set your heart on them.

5 I find rest in God;

only he gives me hope.

6 He is my rock and my salvation.

He is my defender;

I will not be defeated.

7 My honor and salvation come from God.

He is my mighty rock and my protection.

8 People, trust God all the time.

Tell him all your problems,

because God is our protection.

Selah

9 The least of people are only a breath,

and even the greatest are just a lie.

On the scales, they weigh nothing;

together they are only a breath.

10 Do not trust in force.

Stealing is of no use.

Even if you gain more riches,

don’t put your trust in them.

5 My soul, wait thou in silence for God only;

For my expectation is from him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation:

He is my high tower;

I shall not be moved.

7 With God is my salvation and my glory:

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

8 Trust in him at all times, ye people;

Pour out your heart before him:

God is a refuge for us. Selah

9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie:

In the balances they will go up;

They are together lighter than vanity.

10 Trust not in oppression,

And become not vain in robbery:

If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

5 Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved. 7 With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

8 Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah. 9 Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together lighter than vanity. 10 Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.

5 Wait calmly for God alone, my soul, 

because my hope comes from him. 

6 He alone is my rock and my savior—my stronghold. 

I cannot be shaken. 

7 My salvation and my glory depend on God. 

God is the rock of my strength, my refuge. 

8 Trust him at all times, you people. 

Pour out your hearts in his presence. 

God is our refuge. 

Selah 

9 Common people are only a whisper in the wind. 

Important people are only a delusion. 

When all of them are weighed on a scale, they amount to nothing. 

They are less than a whisper in the wind. 

10 Do not count on extortion ⸤to make you rich⸥. 

Do not hope to gain anything through robbery. 

When riches increase, do not depend on them. 

5 Rest in God alone, my soul,

for my hope comes from Him.

6 He alone is my rock and my salvation,

my stronghold; I will not be shaken.

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

My refuge is in God.

8 Trust in Him at all times, you people;

pour out your hearts before Him.

God is our refuge. Selah

9 Men are only a vapor;

exalted men, an illusion.

Weighed in the scales, they go up;

together they are less than a vapor.

10 Place no trust in oppression,

or false hope in robbery.

If wealth increases,

pay no attention to it.

5 For God alone my soul waits in silence,

for my hope is from him.

6 He alone is my rock and my salvation,

my fortress; I shall not be shaken.

7 On God rests my deliverance and my honor;

my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.

8 Trust in him at all times, O people;

pour out your heart before him;

God is a refuge for us.   Selah

9 Those of low estate are but a breath;

those of high estate are a delusion;

in the balances they go up;

they are together lighter than a breath.

10 Put no confidence in extortion,

and set no vain hopes on robbery;

if riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

5 Only for God wait in silence, O my soul,

because my hope is from him.

6 Only he is my rock and my salvation,

my high stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

7 On God rests my salvation and my glory;

God is my strong rock, my refuge.

8 Trust him at all times, O people;

pour out before him your heart.

God is a refuge for us. Selah

9 Only a vapor are men of low degree,

a deception are men of high degree.

Weighed in a balance,

together they are lighter than a vapor.

10 Do not trust in extortion,

and do not put vain confidence in robbery.

If wealth increases,

do not set your heart on it.

5 I will find my rest in God alone.

He is the One who gives me hope.

6 He alone is my rock. He is the One who saves me.

He is like a fort to me. I will always be secure.

7 I depend on God to save me and to honor me.

He is my mighty rock. He is my place of safety.

8 Trust in him at all times, you people.

Tell him all of your troubles.

God is our place of safety. Selah

9 Ordinary people are only a breath.

Important people are not what they seem to be.

If they were weighed on a scale, they wouldn’t amount to anything.

Together they are only a breath.

10 Don’t trust in money you have taken from others.

Don’t be proud of things you have stolen.

Even if your riches grow,

don’t put your trust in them.
