Psalms 62

¹ 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 secure height; I shall never fall.

⁴ How long will you set upon people, all of you beating them down, As though they were a sagging fence or a battered wall?

⁵ Even from my place on high they plot to dislodge me. They delight in lies; they bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah

⁶ My soul, be at rest in God alone, from whom comes my hope.

⁷ God alone is my rock and my salvation, my secure height; I shall not fall.

⁸ My safety and glory are with God, my strong rock and refuge.

⁹ Trust God at all times, my people! Pour out your hearts to God our refuge! Selah

¹⁰ Mortals are a mere breath, the powerful but an illusion; On a balance they rise; together they are lighter than air.

¹¹ Do not trust in extortion; in plunder put no empty hope. Though wealth increase, do not set your heart upon it.

¹² One thing God has said; two things I have heard: Power belongs to God;

¹³ 3) so too, Lord, does kindness, And you render to each of us according to our deeds.
