Psalms 62

1 My soul rests in God alone. My yishu'ah ·salvation· comes from him.

2 He alone is my rock and my yishu'ah ·salvation·, my fortress— I will never be greatly shaken.

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) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

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

6 He alone is my rock and my yishu'ah ·salvation·, my fortress. I will not be shaken.

7 With God is my yesha' ·salvation· and my kavod ·weighty glory·. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8 Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

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 Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.

11 God has spoken once; twice I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· this, that power belongs to God.

12 Also to you, Lord, belongs chesed ·loving-kindness·, for you reward every man according to his work.
