Psalm 62 :: English Standard Version (ESV)

My Soul Waits for God Alone

Psa 62:1To the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.

Psa 62:2

Psa 62:2He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.

Psa 62:3

Psa 62:3How long will all of you attack a man
to batter him,
like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

Psa 62:4

Psa 62:4They only plan to thrust him down from his high position.
They take pleasure in falsehood.
They bless with their mouths,
but inwardly they curse. Selah

Psa 62:5

Psa 62:5For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.

Psa 62:6

Psa 62:6He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.

Psa 62:7

Psa 62:7On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.

Psa 62:8

Psa 62:8Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah

Psa 62:9

Psa 62:9Those of low estate are but a breath;
those of high estate are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
they are together lighter than a breath.

Psa 62:10

Psa 62:10Put no trust in extortion;
set no vain hopes on robbery;
if riches increase, set not your heart on them.

Psa 62:11

Psa 62:11Once God has spoken;
twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,

Psa 62:12

Psa 62:12and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love.
For you will render to a man
according to his work.
