Psalm 62 :: New Living Translation (NLT)

Psa 62:1For Jeduthun, the choir director: A psalm of David.

I wait quietly before God,
for my victory comes from him.

Psa 62:2He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will never be shaken.

Psa 62:3So many enemies against one man—
all of them trying to kill me.
To them I’m just a broken-down wall
or a tottering fence.

Psa 62:4

Psa 62:4They plan to topple me from my high position.
They delight in telling lies about me.
They praise me to my face
but curse me in their hearts.
Interlude

Psa 62:5

Psa 62:5Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
for my hope is in him.

Psa 62:6

Psa 62:6He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will not be shaken.

Psa 62:7

Psa 62:7My victory and honor come from God alone.
He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.

Psa 62:8

Psa 62:8O my people, trust in him at all times.
Pour out your heart to him,
for God is our refuge.
Interlude

Psa 62:9

Psa 62:9Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind,
and the powerful are not what they appear to be.
If you weigh them on the scales,
together they are lighter than a breath of air.

Psa 62:10

Psa 62:10Don’t make your living by extortion
or put your hope in stealing.
And if your wealth increases,
don’t make it the center of your life.

Psa 62:11

Psa 62:11God has spoken plainly,
and I have heard it many times:
Power, O God, belongs to you;

Psa 62:12

Psa 62:12unfailing love, O Lord, is yours.
Surely you repay all people
according to what they have done.
