Psalms 62

Confidence in God’s Salvation

1Only for God my soul waits in silence.

From him is my salvation.

2Only he is my rock and my salvation,

my high stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

3How long will you attack a man?

All of you will be shattered

like a leaning wall, a tottering fence.

4They only plan to thrust him down from his high position;[#This word appears first in the Hebrew verse.]

they are pleased with deception.

With their mouths they bless,

but inwardly they curse. Selah

5Only for God wait in silence, O my soul,

because my hope is from him.

6Only he is my rock and my salvation,

my high stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

7On God rests my salvation and my glory;

God is my strong rock, my refuge.

8Trust him at all times, O people;

pour out before him your heart.

God is a refuge for us. Selah

9Only a vapor are men of low degree,[#Or “breath”]

a deception are men of high degree.

Weighed in a balance,

together they are lighter than a vapor.

10Do not trust in extortion,

and do not put vain confidence in robbery.

If wealth increases,

do not set your heart on it.

11Once God has spoken;

twice I have heard this:

that strength belongs to God.

12And to you belongs loyal love, O Lord,

because you will render to each according to his work.
