62:1 To the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. For God alone my soul waits in silence;from him comes my salvation. 62:2 He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress;I shall not be greatly moved. 62:3 How long will you set upon a man to shatter him, all of you, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence? 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. [Selah] 62:5 For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him. 62:6 He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress;I shall not be shaken. 62:7 On God rests my deliverance and my honor;my mighty rock, my refuge is God. 62:8 Trust in him at all times, O people;pour out your heart before him;God is a refuge for us. [Selah] 62:9 Men 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. 62:10 Put no confidence in extortion, set no vain hopes on robbery;if riches increase, set not your heart on them. 62:11 Once God has spoken;twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God; 62:12 and that to thee, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For thou dost requite a man according to his work. 62:13
