Psalms 62
Chapter 62 of 150
1 Trust in God Alone. For the leader; ‘al Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
2 My soul rests in God alone, from whom comes my salvation.
3 God alone is my rock and salvation, my fortress; I shall never fall.
4 How long will you set yourself against a man? You shall all be destroyed, Like a sagging wall or a tumbled down fence!
5 Even highly placed people plot to overthrow him. They delight in lies; they bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse.
6 My soul, be at rest in God alone, from whom comes my hope.
7 God alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not fall.
8 My deliverance and honor are with God, my strong rock; my refuge is with God.
9 Trust God at all times, my people! Pour out your hearts to God our refuge!
10 Mortals are a mere breath, the sons of man but an illusion; On a balance they rise; together they weigh nothing.
11 Do not trust in extortion; in plunder put no empty hope. On wealth that increases, do not set your heart.
12 One thing God has said; two things I have heard: Strength belongs to God;
13 so too, my Lord, does mercy, For you repay each man according to his deeds.
