Psalm 62a

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

1 Truly my soul finds restr in God;s

my salvation comes from him.

2 Truly he is my rockt and my salvation;u

he is my fortress,v I will never be shaken.w

3 How long will you assault me?

Would all of you throw me down—

this leaning wall,x this tottering fence?

4 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.b y

5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God;z

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 Godc;

he is my mighty rock, my refuge.a

8 Trust in him at all times, you people;b

pour out your hearts to him,c

for God is our refuge.

9 Surely the lowbornd are but a breath,e

the highborn are but a lie.

If weighed on a balance,f they are nothing;

together they are only a breath.

10 Do not trust in extortiong

or put vain hope in stolen goods;h

though your riches increase,

do not set your heart on them.i

11 One thing God has spoken,

two things I have heard:

“Power belongs to you, God,j

12 and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;k

and, “You reward everyone

according to what they have done.”l
