Psalms 62
[1]
My salvation is from him.
[2] He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress.
I will never be greatly shaken.
[3] How long will you assault a man?
Would all of you throw him down,
like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
[4] They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place.
They delight in lies.
They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.
Selah. [5] My soul, wait in silence for God alone,
for my expectation is from him.
[6] He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.
I will not be shaken.
[7] My salvation and my honor is with God.
The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
[8] Trust in him at all times, you people.
Pour out your heart before him.
God is a refuge for us.
Selah. [9] Surely men of low degree are just a breath,
and men of high degree are a lie.
In the balances they will go up.
They are together lighter than a breath.
[10] Don’t trust in oppression.
Don’t become vain in robbery.
If riches increase,
don’t set your heart on them.
[11] God has spoken once;
twice I have heard this,
that power belongs to God.
[12] Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness,
for you reward every man according to his work.
