Psalms 62

1 [For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthan. A Psalm by David.] My soul rests in God alone, for my salvation is from him.

2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress—I will never be upended.

3 How long will you assault a man, would all of you throw him down, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be upended.

7 With God is my salvation and my honor. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8 Trust in him at all times, O people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

9 Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.

10 Do not trust in oppression. Do not become vain in robbery. If riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

11 God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

12 Also to you, LORD, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
