Psalms 62

Psalm 62

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

1Truly my soul finds rest in God;

my salvation comes from him.

2Truly he is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I shall never be shaken.

3How long will you assault me?

Would all of you throw me down –

this leaning wall, this tottering fence?

4Surely they intend to topple me

from my lofty place;

they take delight in lies.

With their mouths they bless,

but in their hearts they curse.

5Yes, my soul, find rest in God;

my hope comes from him.

6Truly he is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I shall not be shaken.

7My salvation and my honour depend on God;

he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

8Trust in him at all times, you people;

pour out your hearts to him,

for God is our refuge.

9Surely the lowborn are but a breath,

the highborn are but a lie.

If weighed on a balance, they are nothing;

together they are only a breath.

10Do not trust in extortion

or put vain hope in stolen goods;

though your riches increase,

do not set your heart on them.

11One thing God has spoken,

two things I have heard:

‘Power belongs to you, God,

12and with you, Lord, is unfailing love’;

and, ‘You reward everyone

according to what they have done.’
