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.
