Psalms 62

¹I wait patiently for God.

Only he can save me.

²He is my rock, who saves me.

He protects me like a strong, walled city.

I will not be defeated.

³How long will you attack me?

Will all of you throw me down?

I am like a leaning wall, like a fence ready to fall.

⁴You are planning to make me fall.

You enjoy telling lies about me.

With your mouth you bless me.

But in your heart you curse me. Selah

⁵I wait patiently for God to save me.

Only he gives me hope.

⁶He is my rock, who saves me.

He protects me like a strong, walled city.

I will not be defeated.

⁷My honor and salvation come from God.

He is my mighty rock and my protection.

⁸People, trust God all the time.

Tell him all your problems.

God is our protection. Selah

⁹People are only a breath.

Even the greatest men are just a lie.

On the scales, they weigh nothing.

Together they are only a breath.

¹⁰Do not trust in force.

Stealing is of no use.

Even if you gain more riches,

don’t put your trust in them.

¹¹God has said this,

and I have heard it over and over:

God, you are strong.

¹²Lord, you are loving.

You reward a person for what he does.
