Psalm 62

A Psalm of David.

[1] For God alone my soul waits in silence;

from him comes my salvation.

[2] He alone is my rock and my salvation,

my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.

[3] How long will all of you attack a man

to batter him,

like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

[4] They only plan to thrust him down from his high position.

They take pleasure in falsehood.

They bless with their mouths,

but inwardly they curse. Selah

[5] For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,

for my hope is from him.

[6] He only is my rock and my salvation,

my fortress; I shall not be shaken.

[7] On God rests my salvation and my glory;

my mighty rock, my refuge is God.

[8] Trust in him at all times, O people;

pour out your heart before him;

God is a refuge for us. Selah

[9] Those of low estate are but a breath;

those of high estate are a delusion;

in the balances they go up;

they are together lighter than a breath.

[10] Put no trust in extortion;

set no vain hopes on robbery;

if riches increase, set not your heart on them.

[11] Once God has spoken;

twice have I heard this:

that power belongs to God,

[12] and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love.

For you will render to a man

according to his work. (ESV)
