Psalm 62 - ESV Online - Literal Word

PSALM 62

My Soul Waits for God Alone

To the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
62:1

For God alone my soul waits in silence;

from him comes my salvation. 2

He alone is my rock and my salvation,

my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.
3

How long will all of you attack a man

to batter him,

like a leaning wall, a tottering fence? 4

They only plan to thrust him down from his high position.

They take pleasure in falsehood.

They bless with their mouths,

but inwardly they curse. Selah
5

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,

for my hope is from him. 6

He only is my rock and my salvation,

my fortress; I shall not be shaken. 7

On God rests my salvation and my glory;

my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
8

Trust in him at all times, O people;

pour out your heart before him;

God is a refuge for us. Selah
9

Those of low estate are but a breath;

those of high estate are a delusion;

in the balances they go up;

they are together lighter than a breath. 10

Put no trust in extortion;

set no vain hopes on robbery;

if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
11

Once God has spoken;

twice have I heard this:

that power belongs to God, 12

and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love.

For you will render to a man

according to his work.
