Psalms 62

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1My soul waiteth in silence for God only:From him cometh my salvation. 2He only is my rock and my salvation:He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved. 3How long will ye set upon a man,That ye may slay him, all of you,Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? 4They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity;They delight in lies;They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. [Selah 5My soul, wait thou in silence for God only;For my expectation is from him. 6He only is my rock and my salvation:He is my high tower; I shall not be moved. 7With God is my salvation and my glory:The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. 8Trust in him at all times, ye people;Pour out your heart before him:God is a refuge for us. [Selah 9Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie:In the balances they will go up;They are together lighter than vanity. 10Trust not in oppression,And become not vain in robbery:If riches increase, set not your heart thereon. 11God hath spoken once,Twice have I heard this,That power belongeth unto God. 12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness;For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
