62 For the music director, on Jeduthun.a
A psalm of David.b
1 Only for God my soul waits in silence.
From him is my salvation.
2 Only he is my rock and my salvation,
my high stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.
3 How long will you attack a man?
All of you will be shatteredc
like a leaning wall, a tottering fence.
4 They onlyd plan to thrust him down from his high position;
they are pleased with deception.
With their mouthse they bless,
but ⌊inwardly⌋f they curse. Selah
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;
Godg 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 vaporh are men of low degree,
a deception are men of high degree.
⌊Weighed⌋i in a balance,
together they are lighter than a vapor.
and do not put vain confidence in robbery.
If wealth increases,
do not set your heart on it.
twice I have heard this:
that strength belongs to God.
12 And to you belongs loyal love, O Lord,
because you will render to each according to his work.
