Psalm 62 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

God Is a Refuge for Us

Psa 62:1

For the choir director. According to [fn]Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

Surely my soul waits in silence for God;

From Him is my salvation.

Psa 62:2

Surely He is my rock and my salvation,

My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

Psa 62:3

How long will you assail a man,

That you may murder him, all of you,

Like a leaning wall, like a fence thrust down?

Psa 62:4

Surely they have counseled to thrust him down from his high position;

They find pleasure in falsehood;

They bless with [fn]their mouth,

But inwardly they curse. [fn]Selah.

Psa 62:5

Surely wait in silence for God, O my soul,

For my hope is from Him.

Psa 62:6

Surely He is my rock and my salvation,

My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

Psa 62:7

On God my salvation and my glory rest;

The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

Psa 62:8

Trust in Him at all times, O people;

Pour out your heart before Him;

God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Psa 62:9

Surely [fn]men of low degree are merely vanity and [fn]men of rank are a lie;

In the balances they go up;

They are together lighter than a breath of vanity.

Psa 62:10

Do not trust in oppression

And do not put vain hope in robbery;

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

Psa 62:11

[fn]Once God has spoken;

[fn]Twice I have heard this:

That strength belongs to God;

Psa 62:12

And that to You, O Lord, belongs lovingkindness,

For You repay a man according to his work.
