Psalms

Chapter 62

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

2 He alone is my rock, my salvation , and 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 My salvation and my honor is with God . 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.
