Psalms 62

 

Psalms 62

 

1 Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him.

 

2 Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

 

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

 

4 Surely they intend to topple me from my lofty place; they take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse

 

5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.

 

6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

 

7 My salvation and my honor depend on God;

he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

 

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

 

9 Surely the lowborn 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 put vain hope in stolen goods; though your riches increase,

do not set your heart on them.

 

11 One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: “Power belongs to you, God,

 

12 and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”; and, “You reward everyone according to what they have done.”
