- 62Truly my soul waits upon God. From him comes my salvation. 2He only is my rock and my salvation. He is my defense. I shall not be greatly moved. 3How long will you imagine mischief against a man? You shall be slain, all of you. As a bowing wall shall you be, and as a tottering fence. 4They only consult to cast him down from his excellence. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
- 5My soul, wait only upon God, for my expectation is from him. 6He only is my rock and my salvation. He is my defense. I shall not be moved. 7In God is my salvation and my glory. The rock of my strength and my refuge is in God. 8Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.
- 9Surely men of low degree are vanity and men of high degree are a lie. To be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. 10Trust not in oppression and become not vain in robbery. If riches increase, set not your heart upon them. 11God has spoken once; twice have I heard this: that power belongs unto God. 12Also unto you, O Lord, belongs mercy, for you render to every man according to his work.
Psalm 62
To the chief musician, to Jeduthun, a psalm of David.
