Psalms Chapter 62
For the Choir Director. A Psalm of David
Set to Jeduthun
1 I wait for God alone
because my victory comes from him.
2 He alone is my rock, my salvation, my fortress;
I won’t be shaken.
3 How long will youpl assail me
so you can murder me,
like a leaning wall or crumbling fence?
4Your only intention is to knock me down;
you enjoy lying about me;
you bless out loud but curse inside. Ps 62:1-4
5 My soul, wait in silence for God
because my hope lies only in him.
6 He alone is my rock, my salvation, my fortress;
I won’t be shaken.
7 My deliverance and glory rest with him,
my strong rock and refuge.
8 Always trust him, people;
pour out your heart to him, our refuge. Ps 62:5-8
9 Common people have no value;
the powerful aren’t what they seem.
Either one rises higher in the balances;
they’re both lighter than air.
10 Don’t put confidence in extortion;
don’t place empty hopes in stealing.
If wealth does increase, don’t set your heart on it.
11 God has spoken once;
I’ve heard it twice
that power belongs to God
12and the LORD has enduring love;
he pays people according to their work. Ps 62:9-12
