Psalm 62

God the Only Refuge

1Truly my soul waiteth upon God:

from him cometh my salvation.

2He only is my rock and my salvation;

he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.

3How long will ye imagine mischief against a man?

Ye shall be slain all of you:

as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

4They only consult to cast him down from his excellency:

they delight in lies:

they bless with their mouth,

but they curse inwardly. Selah.

5My soul, wait thou 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;

ye 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 hath spoken once;

twice have I heard this;

that power belongeth unto God.

12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy:[#Job 34.11; Jer 17.10; Matt 16.27; Rom 2.6; Rev 2.23.]

for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
