Psalms 62
David finds rest in God alone, declaring that his salvation and hope come from God who is his rock and fortress. He warns against trusting in wealth, extortion, or human power. God is both powerful and loving.
For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.
How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?
They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. Selah
Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God.
Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge. Selah
Lowborn men are but a vapor; the exalted are but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.
Place no trust in extortion or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.
God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God,
and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man according to his deeds.
