Psalm 62

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthan. A Psalm of David.

62 ¹My soul waiteth in silence for God only:

From him cometh my salvation.

²He only is my rock and my salvation:

He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

³How long will ye set upon a man,

That ye may slay him, all of you,

Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

⁴They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity;

They delight in lies;

They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.

Selah

⁵My soul, wait thou in silence for God only;

For my expectation is from him.

⁶He only is my rock and my salvation:

He is my high tower; I shall not be moved.

⁷With God is my salvation and my glory:

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

⁸Trust in him at all times, ye people;

Pour out your heart before him:

God is a refuge for us.

Selah

⁹Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie:

In the balances they will go up;

They are together lighter than vanity.

¹⁰Trust not in oppression,

And become not vain in robbery:

If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

¹¹God hath spoken once,

Twice have I heard this,

That power belongeth unto God.

¹²Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness;

For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
