Psalm 62

Waiting on God

¹For the one directing. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Only toward God is my soul silent; from Him is my salvation.

²Only He is my Rock and my salvation, My tower; not much will I be shaken.

³Until when will you plot against a man? You are destroyed, all of you, like a wall leaning, a fence being pushed down.

⁴Surely from his high position they take counsel to thrust him down; they delight in lies—with their mouth they bless, and within them they curse. Selah

⁵Only for God be silent, O my soul, for from Him is my hope.

⁶Only He is my Rock and my salvation, my secure height; I will not be shaken.

⁷In God is my salvation and my glory, the Rock of my strength; my refuge is in God.

⁸Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before Him; God is is a refuge for us. Selah

⁹Only a vapor are the sons of a man, a lie the sons of a man—in the scales they go up as a vapor together.

¹⁰You should not trust in oppression, and do not be vain in robbery; on wealth when it increases you should not set the heart.

¹¹Once God has spoken; twice I have heard this, that strength is unto God,

¹²and unto You, O Lord, is loving devotion. For You do recompense to each man according to his work.
