Psalms 62
My Soul Waits for God Alone
To the choirmaster: according to (a)Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1 For God alone (b)my soul (c)waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.
2 (d)He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my (e)fortress; (f)I shall not be greatly shaken.
3 How long will all of you attack a man
to batter him,
like (g)a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
4 They only plan to thrust him down from his (h)high position.
They take pleasure in falsehood.
(i)They bless with their mouths,
but inwardly they curse. Selah
5 For God alone, O (j)my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.
6 (k)He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
7 On God rests my (l)salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, (m)my refuge is God.
8 (n)Trust in him at all times, O people;
(o)pour out your heart before him;
God is (p)a refuge for us. Selah
9 (q)Those of low estate are but a breath;
those of high estate (r)are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
(s)they are together lighter than a breath.
10 Put no trust in extortion;
(t)set no vain hopes on robbery;
(u)if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
11 (v)Once God has spoken;
(w)twice have I heard this:
that (x)power belongs to God,
12 and that to you, O Lord, (y)belongs steadfast love.
For you will (z)render to a man
according to his work.
