The Psalms
Psalm 62
[For the choir director; according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.] My soul [waits] in silence for God only; From Him is my salvation.
He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.
How long will you assail a man, That you may murder [him,] all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
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].
My soul, wait in silence for God only, For my hope is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
On God my salvation and my glory [rest]; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. [Selah].
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.
Do not trust in oppression, And do not vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, do not set [your] heart [upon] them.
Once God has spoken; Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God;
And lovingkindness is Thine, O Lord, For Thou dost recompense a man according to his work.
