Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 62:1 - For Jeduthun, the choir director: A psalm of David.

I wait quietly before God,
for my victory comes from him.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 62:2 - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will never be shaken.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 62:3 - So many enemies against one man—
all of them trying to kill me.
To them I’m just a broken-down wall
or a tottering fence.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 62:4 - They plan to topple me from my high position.
They delight in telling lies about me.
They praise me to my face
but curse me in their hearts.
Interlude
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 62:5 - Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
for my hope is in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 62:6 - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will not be shaken.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 62:7 - My victory and honor come from God alone.
He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 62:8 - O my people, trust in him at all times.
Pour out your heart to him,
for God is our refuge.
Interlude
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 62:9 - Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind,
and the powerful are not what they appear to be.
If you weigh them on the scales,
together they are lighter than a breath of air.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 62:10 - Don’t make your living by extortion
or put your hope in stealing.
And if your wealth increases,
don’t make it the center of your life.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 62:11 - God has spoken plainly,
and I have heard it many times:
Power, O God, belongs to you;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 62:12 - unfailing love, O Lord, is yours.
Surely you repay all people
according to what they have done.
