Psalm 62

 

For the director of music.  For Jeduthun.  A psalm of David.

 

 

1                    My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him.

 

2                    He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

 

3                    How long will you assault a man?  Would all of you throw him down—this leaning wall, this tottering fence?

 

4                    They fully intend to topple him from his lofty place; they take delight in lies.  With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse.

Selah

 

5                    Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from Him.

 

6                    He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

 

7                    My salvation and my honor depend on God [a] ; He is my mighty rock, my refuge.

 

8                    Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge.

Selah

 

9                    Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath.

 

10               Do not trust in extortion or take pride in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

 

11               One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong,

 

12               and that you, O LORD, are loving.  Surely you will reward each person according to what he has done.
