Psalm 62

For the choir director. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

Surely my soul waits in silence for God;

From Him is my salvation.

Surely He is my rock and my salvation,

My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

How long will you assail a man,

That you may murder him, all of you,

Like a leaning wall, like a fence thrust down?

Surely they have counseled to thrust him down from his high position;

They find pleasure in falsehood;

They bless with their mouth,

But inwardly they curse. Selah.

Surely wait in silence for God, O my soul,

For my hope is from Him.

Surely He is my rock and my salvation,

My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

On God my salvation and my glory rest;

The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

Trust in Him at all times, O people;

Pour out your heart before Him;

God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Surely men of low degree are merely vanity and men of rank are a lie;

In the balances they go up;

They are together lighter than a breath of vanity.

Do not trust in oppression

And do not put vain hope in robbery;

If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

Once God has spoken;

Twice I have heard this:

That strength belongs to God;

And that to You, O Lord, belongs lovingkindness,

For You repay a man according to his work.
