Psalm 62

Psalm 62

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

^*Truly my soul finds rest^a in God;^b

my salvation comes from him.

Truly he is my rock^c and my salvation;^d

he is my fortress,^e I will never be shaken.^f

How long will you assault me?

Would all of you throw me down—

this leaning wall,^g this tottering fence?

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.^h

Yes, my soul, find rest in God;ⁱ

my hope comes from him.

Truly he is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

My salvation and my honor depend on God;

he is my mighty rock, my refuge.^j

Trust in him at all times, you people;^k

pour out your hearts to him,^l

for God is our refuge.

Surely the lowborn^m are but a breath,ⁿ

the highborn are but a lie.

If weighed on a balance,^o they are nothing;

together they are only a breath.

Do not trust in extortion^p

or put vain hope in stolen goods;^q

though your riches increase,

do not set your heart on them.^r

One thing God has spoken,

two things I have heard:

“Power belongs to you, God,^s

and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;^t

and, “You reward everyone

according to what they have done.”^u
