PSALM 62

Song of Trust in God Alone

Psalm 62:1 For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.

Psalm 62:2 He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly moved.

Psalm 62:3 How long will you set upon a man to shatter him, all of you, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

Psalm 62:4 They only plan to thrust him down from his eminence. They take pleasure in falsehood. They bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse.

Psalm 62:5For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him.

Psalm 62:6 He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.

Psalm 62:7 On God rests my deliverance and my honor; my mighty rock, my refuge is God.

Psalm 62:8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.

Psalm 62:9Men of low estate are but a breath, men of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath.

Psalm 62:10 Put no confidence in extortion, set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them.

Psalm 62:11 Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God;

Psalm 62:12 and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For you repay a man according to his work.
