Psalms 62
1 TRULY my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David. Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.
3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.
4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)
But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.
5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. (Selah)
Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.
9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.
10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.
11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,
12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
And mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
