Psalm 62 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

Psa 62:1

Psa 62:1<To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. A Psalm. Of David.> My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my salvation.

Psa 62:2

Psa 62:2He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.

Psa 62:3

Psa 62:3How long will you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?

Psa 62:4

Psa 62:4Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (Selah.)

Psa 62:5

Psa 62:5My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my hope.

Psa 62:6

Psa 62:6He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.

Psa 62:7

Psa 62:7In God is my salvation, and my glory; the Rock of my strength, and my safe place.

Psa 62:8

Psa 62:8Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah.)

Psa 62:9

Psa 62:9Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath.

Psa 62:10

Psa 62:10Have no faith in the rewards of evil-doing, or in profits wrongly made: if your wealth is increased, do not put your hopes on it.

Psa 62:11

Psa 62:11Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's:

Psa 62:12

Psa 62:12And mercy, O Lord, is yours, for you give to every man the reward of his work.
