PSALM 62
A Calm Resolve to Wait for the Salvation of God
To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1 Truly my soul silently waits for God;
​​From Him comes my salvation.
2 ​​He only is my rock and my salvation;
​​He is my defense;
​​I shall not be greatly moved.
​
3 ​​How long will you attack a man?
​​You shall be slain, all of you,
​​Like a leaning wall and a tottering fence.
4 ​​They only consult to cast him down from his high position;
​​They delight in lies;
​​They bless with their mouth,
​​But they curse inwardly. Selah
​
5 ​​My soul, wait silently for God alone,
​​For my expectation is from Him.
6 ​​He only is my rock and my salvation;
​​He is my defense;
​​I shall not be moved.
7 ​​In God is my salvation and my glory;
​​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 a vapor,
​​Men of high degree are a lie;
​​If they are weighed on the scales,
​​They are altogether lighter than vapor.
10 ​​Do not trust in oppression,
​​Nor vainly hope in robbery;
​​If riches increase,
​​Do not set your heart on them.
​
11 ​​God has spoken once,
​​Twice I have heard this:
​​That power belongs to God.
12 ​​Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy;
​​For You render to each one according to his work.
