Psalms 62


font

1[For the choirmaster . . . Jeduthun Psalm Of David] In God alone there is rest for my soul, from himcomes my safety;2he alone is my rock, my safety, my stronghold so that I stand unshaken.3How much longer wil you set on a victim, al together, intent on murder, like a rampart already leaningover, a wall already damaged?4Trickery is their only plan, deception their only pleasure, with lies on their lips they pronounce ablessing, with a curse in their hearts.Pause5Rest in God alone, my soul! He is the source of my hope.6He alone is my rock, my safety, my stronghold, so that I stand unwavering.7In God is my safety and my glory, the rock of my strength. In God is my refuge;8trust in him, you people, at al times. Pour out your hearts to him, God is a refuge for us.Pause9Ordinary people are a mere puff of wind, important people a delusion; set both on the scales together,and they are lighter than a puff of wind.10Put no trust in extortion, no empty hopes in robbery; however much wealth may multiply, do not setyour heart on it.11Once God has spoken, twice have I heard this: Strength belongs to God,12to you, Lord, faithful love; and you repay everyone as their deeds deserve.
