Psalms 62

   |   

Psalm 62[a]

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

1 Truly my soul finds rest(a) in God;(b)
    my salvation comes from him.
2 Truly he is my rock(c) and my salvation;(d)
    he is my fortress,(e) I will never be shaken.(f)

3 How long will you assault me?
    Would all of you throw me down—
    this leaning wall,(g) this tottering fence?
4 Surely they intend to topple me
    from my lofty place;
    they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
    but in their hearts they curse.[b](h)

5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God;(i)
    my hope comes from him.
6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
    he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and my honor depend on God[c];
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.(j)
8 Trust in him at all times, you people;(k)
    pour out your hearts to him,(l)
    for God is our refuge.

9 Surely the lowborn(m) are but a breath,(n)
    the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance,(o) they are nothing;
    together they are only a breath.
10 Do not trust in extortion(p)
    or put vain hope in stolen goods;(q)
though your riches increase,
    do not set your heart on them.(r)

11 One thing God has spoken,
    two things I have heard:
"Power belongs to you, God,(s)
12     and with you, Lord, is unfailing love";(t)
and, "You reward everyone
    according to what they have done."(u)
