Psalms 62

God alone a refuge from treachery and oppression.

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

¹To the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

²For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.

³He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly moved.

⁴How long will you set upon a man to shatter him, all of you, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

⁵They only plan to thrust him down from his eminence. They take pleasure in falsehood. They bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. [Selah]

⁶For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him.

⁷He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.

⁸On God rests my deliverance and my honor; my mighty rock, my refuge is God.

⁹Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. [Selah]

¹⁰Men of low estate are but a breath, men of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath.

¹¹Put no confidence in extortion, set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them.

¹²Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God; [ (Psalms 62:13) and that to thee, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For thou dost requite a man according to his work. ]
