The Psalms

Psalm 62

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

 ^62:1My soul waiteth in silence for God only:

 From him cometh my salvation.

 ^62:2He only is my rock and my salvation:

 He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

 ^62:3How long will ye set upon a man,

 That ye may slay him, all of you,

 Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

 ^62:4They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity;

 They delight in lies;

 They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.

Selah

 ^62:5My soul, wait thou in silence for God only;

 For my expectation is from him.

 ^62:6He only is my rock and my salvation:

 He is my high tower; I shall not be moved.

 ^62:7With God is my salvation and my glory:

 The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

 ^62:8Trust in him at all times, ye people;

 Pour out your heart before him:

 God is a refuge for us.

Selah

 ^62:9Surely 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.

 ^62:10Trust not in oppression,

 And become not vain in robbery:

 If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

 ^62:11God hath spoken once,

 Twice have I heard this,

 That power belongeth unto God.

 ^62:12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness;

 For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
