Psalm 62

1 My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From him cometh my salvation.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

3 How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah

5 My soul, wait thou in silence for God only; For my expectation is from him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my high tower; I shall not be moved.

7 With God is my salvation and my glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge, 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

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

10 Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

11 God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God.

12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness; For thou renderest to every man according to his work.

Psalm 62

1 My soul rests in God alone.
My salvation is from him.
2 He alone is my rock and my 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.

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 shaken.
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, you 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 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 heard this,
that power belongs to God.
12 Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness,
for you reward every man according to his work.
