Psalm 62 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.

Psa 62:1

For the music director; [fn]according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

My soul waits in silence for God alone;

From Him comes my salvation.

Psa 62:2

He alone is my rock and my salvation,

My stronghold; I will not be greatly shaken.

Psa 62:3

How long will you attack a man,

That you may murder him, all of you,

Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

Psa 62:4

They have planned only to thrust him down from his high position;

They delight in falsehood;

They bless with [fn]their mouth,

But inwardly they curse. Selah

Psa 62:5

My soul, wait in silence for God alone,

For my hope is from Him.

Psa 62:6

He alone is my rock and my salvation,

My refuge; I will not be shaken.

Psa 62:7

My salvation and my glory rest on God;

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

Psa 62:8

Trust in Him at all times, you people;

Pour out your hearts before Him;

God is a refuge for us. Selah

Psa 62:9

People of low standing are only breath, and people of rank are a lie;

In the balances they go up.

Together they are lighter than breath.

Psa 62:10

Do not trust in oppression,

And do not vainly rely on robbery;

If wealth increases, do not set your heart on it.

Psa 62:11

God has spoken [fn]once;

[fn]Twice I have heard this:

That power belongs to God;

Psa 62:12

And faithfulness is Yours, Lord,

For You reward a person according to his work.
