Psalm 62

For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthan. A Psalm by David.

 ^62:1My soul rests in God alone.
      My salvation is from him.

 ^62:2He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress --
      I will never be greatly shaken.

 ^62:3How long will you assault a man,
      Would all of you throw him down,
      Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

 ^62:4They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place.

 They delight in lies.

 They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.

 Selah.

 ^62:5My soul, wait in silence for God alone,
      For my expectation is from him.

 ^62:6He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.
      I will not be shaken.

 ^62:7With God is my salvation and my honor.
      The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

 ^62:8Trust in him at all times, you people.
      Pour out your heart before him.
      God is a refuge for us.

 Selah.

 ^62:9Surely 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.

 ^62:10Don't trust in oppression.
      Don't become vain in robbery.

 If riches increase,
      Don't set your heart on them.

 ^62:11God has spoken once,
      Twice have I heard this,
      That power belongs to God.

 ^62:12Also to you, Lord, belongs lovingkindness,
      For you reward every man according to his work.
