Psalm 62 (WEBP)

[1] My soul rests in God alone. 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.
