Zabur 62

For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthan. A Psalm by Dawud.

¹My soul rests in God alone.

My salvation is from him.

²He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress--

I will never be greatly shaken.

³How long will you assault a man,

Would all of you throw him down,

Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

⁴They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place.

They delight in lies.

They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.

Selah.

⁵My soul, wait in silence for God alone,

For my expectation is from him.

⁶He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.

I will not be shaken.

⁷With God is my salvation and my honour.

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 just a breath,

And men of high degree are a lie.

In the balances they will go up.

They are together lighter than a breath.

¹⁰Do not trust in oppression.

Do not become vain in robbery.

If riches increase,

Do not set your heart on them.

¹¹God has spoken once,

Twice I have heard this,

That power belongs to God.

¹²Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness,

For you reward every man according to his work.
