Psalms - Chapter 62 | English Standard Version

  • 1. To the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.
  • 2. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.
  • 3. How long will all of you attack a man to batter him, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
  • 4. They only plan to thrust him down from his high position. They take pleasure in falsehood. They bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah.
  • 5. For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.
  • 6. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
  • 7. On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
  • 8. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Selah.
  • 9. Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath.
  • 10. Put no trust in extortion; set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
  • 11. Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God,
  • 12. and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For you will render to a man according to his work.
