Psa62

Psalms – Chapter 62

¹For the leader; ‘al Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

I

²My soul rests in God alone,

from whom comes my salvation.

³God alone is my rock and salvation,

my fortress; I shall never fall.

⁴How long will you set yourself against a man?

You shall all be destroyed,

Like a sagging wall

or a tumbled down fence!

⁵Even highly placed people

plot to overthrow him.

They delight in lies;

they bless with their mouths,

but inwardly they curse.

Selah

II

⁶My soul, be at rest in God alone,

from whom comes my hope.

⁷God alone is my rock and my salvation,

my fortress; I shall not fall.

⁸My deliverance and honor are with God,

my strong rock;

my refuge is with God.

⁹Trust God at all times, my people!

Pour out your hearts to God our refuge!

Selah

III

¹⁰Mortals are a mere breath,

the sons of man but an illusion;

On a balance they rise;

together they weigh nothing.

¹¹Do not trust in extortion;

in plunder put no empty hope.

On wealth that increases,

do not set your heart.

¹²One thing God has said;

two things I have heard:

Strength belongs to God;

¹³so too, my Lord, does mercy,

For you repay each man

according to his deeds.
