Psalm 62
Reading edition
For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthan. A Psalm by David.
62:1 My soul rests in God alone.
My salvation is from him.
62:2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress--
I will never be greatly shaken.
62:3 How long will you assault a man,
would all of you throw him down,
Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
62:4 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.
62:5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone,
for my expectation is from him.
62:6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.
I will not be shaken.
62:7 With God is my salvation and my honor.
The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
62:8 Trust in him at all times, you people.
Pour out your heart before him.
God is a refuge for us.
Selah.
62:9 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.
62:10 Don't trust in oppression.
Don't become vain in robbery.
If riches increase,
don't set your heart on them.
62:11 God has spoken once;
twice I have heard this,
that power belongs to God.
62:12 Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness,
for you reward every man according to his work.
