Psalm 62 :: Amplified Bible (AMP)

He alone is my rock and my salvation,

My defense and my strong tower; I will not be shaken or disheartened.

How long will you attack a man

So that you may murder him, all of you,

Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

They consult only to throw him down from his high position [to dishonor him];

They delight in lies.

They bless with [the words of] their mouths,

But inwardly they curse. Selah.

For God alone my soul waits in silence and quietly submits to Him,

For my hope is from Him.

He only is my rock and my salvation;

My fortress and my defense, I will not be shaken or discouraged.

On God my salvation and my glory rest;

He is my rock of [unyielding] strength, my refuge is in God.

Trust [confidently] 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 a breath (emptiness), and men of [high] rank are a lie (delusion).

In the balances they go up [because they have no measurable weight or value];

They are together lighter than a breath.

Do not trust in oppression,

And do not vainly hope in robbery;

If riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

God has spoken once,

Twice I have heard this:

That power belongs to God.

Also to You, O Lord, belong lovingkindness and compassion,

For You compensate every man according to [the value of] his work.
