Psalms 62
1 For the music director. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
2 My soul rests in silence in God alone; my salvation comes from him.
3 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I will not be greatly shaken.
4 How long will you attack a man? All of you would kill him, like a leaning wall, a fence ready to fall.
5 They plan only to bring him down from his high place; they take pleasure in lies. With their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. Selah.
6 Rest in silence in God alone, my soul, for my hope comes from him.
7 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I will not be shaken.
8 My salvation and my glory are in God; the rock of my strength and my refuge are in God.
9 Trust in him at all times, people; pour out your hearts before him. God is our refuge. Selah.
10 Human beings are only a breath; people are a lie. Weighed on the scales, together they are lighter than a breath.
11 Do not trust in extortion or place empty hope in robbery; if wealth increases, do not set your heart on it.
12 Once God has spoken; twice I have heard this: strength belongs to God.
13 And to you, Lord, belongs faithful love, for you repay each person according to what they have done.
