Psalm 62:1–12

¹Truly my soul finds rest^r in God;^s

my salvation comes from him.

²Truly he is my rock^t and my salvation;^u

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

³How long will you assault me?

Would all of you throw me down—

this leaning wall,^x this tottering fence?

⁴Surely 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.^by

⁵Yes, my soul, find rest in God;^z

my hope comes from him.

⁶Truly he is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

⁷My salvation and my honor depend on God^c;

he is my mighty rock, my refuge.^a

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

pour out your hearts to him,^c

for God is our refuge.

⁹Surely the lowborn^d 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.

¹⁰Do not trust in extortion^g

or put vain hope in stolen goods;^h

though your riches increase,

do not set your heart on them.ⁱ

¹¹One thing God has spoken,

two things I have heard:

“Power belongs to you, God,^j

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

and, “You reward everyone

according to what they have done.”^l
