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 defence; 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 inwardly. 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.

8. Trust 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 altogether 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 power belongeth unto God.

12. Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy:

for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
