Psalm 62

Psa. 62:0   For the choir director; according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. 

Psa. 62:1    My soul waits in silence for God only; 

From Him is my salvation. 

2  He only is my rock and my salvation, 

My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken. 

Psa. 62:3    How long will you assail a man, 

That you may murder him, all of you, 

Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? 

4  They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position; 

They delight in falsehood; 

They bless with their mouth, 

But inwardly they curse. Selah. 

Psa. 62:5    My soul, wait in silence for God only, 

For my hope is from Him. 

6  He only is my rock and my salvation, 

My stronghold; I shall not be shaken. 

7  On God my salvation and my glory rest; 

The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. 

8  Trust in Him at all times, O people; 

Pour out your heart before Him; 

God is a refuge for us.  Selah. 

Psa. 62:9    Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie; 

In the balances they go up; 

They are together lighter than breath. 

10  Do not trust in oppression 

And do not vainly hope in robbery; 

If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

Psa. 62:11    Once God has spoken; 

Twice I have heard this: 

That power belongs to God; 

12  And lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord, 

For You recompense a man according to his work.
