Psalm 62

Psalm 62

To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

¹Truly ^bmy soul silently waits for God;

From Him comes my salvation.

²He only is my rock and my salvation;

He is my ¹defense;

I shall not be greatly ^cmoved. ²

³How long will you attack a man?

You shall be slain, all of you,

^dLike a leaning wall and a tottering fence.

⁴They only consult to cast him down from his high position;

They ^edelight in lies;

They bless with their mouth,

But they curse inwardly.

Selah

⁵My soul, wait silently for God alone,

For my ³expectation is from Him.

⁶He only is my rock and my salvation;

He is my defense;

I shall not be ⁴moved.

^7fIn God is my salvation and my glory;

The rock of my strength,

And my refuge, is in God.

⁸Trust in Him at all times, you people;

^gPour out your heart before Him;

God is a refuge for us.

Selah

^9hSurely men of low degree are ⁵a vapor,

Men of high degree are a lie;

If they are weighed on the scales,

They are altogether lighter than vapor.

¹⁰Do not trust in oppression,

Nor vainly hope in robbery;

ⁱIf riches increase,

Do not set your heart on them.

¹¹God has spoken once,

Twice I have heard this:

That power belongs to God.

¹²Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy;

For ^jYou ⁶render to each one according to his work.
