Psalm 62 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

God alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.

Psa 62:1
For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
My soul waiteth in silence for God only:
From him cometh my salvation.
Psa 62:2
He only is my rock and my salvation:
He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.
Psa 62:3
How long will ye set upon a man,
That ye may slay him, all of you,
Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
Psa 62:4
They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity;
They delight in lies;
They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.
[Selah
Psa 62:5
My soul, wait thou in silence for God only;
For my expectation is from him.
Psa 62:6
He only is my rock and my salvation:
He is my high tower; I shall not be moved.
Psa 62:7
With God is my salvation and my glory:
The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
Psa 62:8
Trust in him at all times, ye people;
Pour out your heart before him:
God is a refuge for us.
[Selah
Psa 62:9
Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie:
In the balances they will go up;
They are together lighter than vanity.
Psa 62:10
Trust not in oppression,
And become not vain in robbery:
If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
Psa 62:11
God hath spoken once,
Twice have I heard this,
That power belongeth unto God.
Psa 62:12
Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness;
For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
