Psalms 62

Psalm 62 ESV

1David professing his confidence in God discourageth his enemies. 5In the same confidence he encourageth the godly. 9No trust is to be put in worldly things. 11Power and mercy belong to God.
To the choirmaster: according to 1Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1 For God alone 1my soul 2waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.
2 1He alone is my rock and my salvation, my 2fortress; 3I shall not be greatly shaken.
3 How long will all of you attack a man to batter him, like 1a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
4 They only plan to thrust him down from his 1high position. They take pleasure in falsehood. 2They bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah
5 For God alone, O 1my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.
6 1He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
7 On God rests my 1salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, 2my refuge is God.
8 1Trust in him at all times, O people; 2pour out your heart before him; God is 3a refuge for us. Selah
9 1Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estate 2are a delusion; in the balances they go up; 3they are together lighter than a breath.
10 Put no trust in extortion; 1set no vain hopes on robbery; 2if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
11 1Once God has spoken; 2twice have I heard this: that 3power belongs to God,
12 and that to you, O Lord, 1belongs steadfast love. For you will 2render to a man according to his work.
