Psalm 62 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

Trust in God Alone

For the choir director: according to Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

Psa 62:1

I am at rest in God alone;

my salvation comes from him.

Psa 62:2

He alone is my rock and my salvation,

my stronghold; I will never be shaken.

Psa 62:3

How long will you threaten a man?

Will all of you attack[fn]

as if he were a leaning wall

or a tottering fence?

Psa 62:4

They only plan to bring him down

from his high position.

They take pleasure in lying;

they bless with their mouths,

but they curse inwardly.Selah

Psa 62:5

Rest in God alone, my soul,

for my hope comes from him.

Psa 62:6

He alone is my rock and my salvation,

my stronghold; I will not be shaken.

Psa 62:7

My salvation and glory depend on God, my strong rock.

My refuge is in God.

Psa 62:8

Trust in him at all times, you people;

pour out your hearts before him.

God is our refuge.Selah

Psa 62:9

Common people are only a vapor;

important people, an illusion.

Together on a scale,

they weigh less than[fn] a vapor.

Psa 62:10

Place no trust in oppression

or false hope in robbery.

If wealth increases,

don’t set your heart on it.

Psa 62:11

God has spoken once;

I have heard this twice:

strength belongs to God,

Psa 62:12

and faithful love belongs to you, Lord.

For you repay each according to his works.
