PSALM 62
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun,
A Psalm of David.
1 Truly my
soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. 2 He
only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defencea;
I shall not be greatly moved. 3 How 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. 4 They only consult to cast him
down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth,
but they curse inwardlyb. Selah. 5 My soul,
wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. 6
He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall
not be moved. 7 In 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. 9 Surely men of low degree are
vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the
balance, they are altogetherc lighter than
vanity. 10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in
robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them. 11
God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that powerd belongeth
unto God. 12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for
thou renderest to every man according to his work.
