Chapter 62
Psalms
Verse 1For God alone my soul waits in silence;from him comes my salvation.Verse 2He alone is my rock and my salvation,my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.Verse 3How long will all of you attack a manto batter him,like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?Verse 4They only plan to thrust him down from his high position.They take pleasure in falsehood.They bless with their mouths,but inwardly they curse. SelahVerse 5For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,for my hope is from him.Verse 6He only is my rock and my salvation,my fortress; I shall not be shaken.Verse 7On God rests my salvation and my glory;my mighty rock, my refuge is God.Verse 8Trust in him at all times, O people;pour out your heart before him;God is a refuge for us. SelahVerse 9Those of low estate are but a breath;those of high estate are a delusion;in the balances they go up;they are together lighter than a breath.Verse 10Put no trust in extortion;set no vain hopes on robbery;if riches increase, set not your heart on them.Verse 11Once God has spoken;twice have I heard this:that power belongs to God,Verse 12and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love.For you will render to a manaccording to his work.
