Psalm 62
62
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
1Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
From him cometh my salvation.
2He only is my rock and my salvation;
He is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3How 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.
4They only consult to cast him down from his excellency:
They delight in lies: They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5My soul, wait thou only upon God;
For my expectation is from him.
6He only is my rock and my salvation:
He is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7In 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.
9Surely 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.
10Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery:
If riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11God hath spoken once; Twice have I heard this;
That power belongeth unto God.
12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy:
For thou renderest to every man according to his work.

My Soul Waits for God Alone
To the choirmaster: according to #See Ps. 39, titleJeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1For God alone #See Ps. 33:20 my soul #[Ps. 37:7]waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.
2 #
Ps. 18:2 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my #See Ps. 9:9 fortress; #See Ps. 10:6I shall not be greatly shaken.
3How long will all of you attack a man
to batter him,
like #[Isa. 30:13]a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
4They only plan to thrust him down from his #Job 13:11 high position.
They take pleasure in falsehood.
# See Ps. 28:3 They bless with their mouths,
but inwardly they curse. Selah
5For God alone, O #[See ver. 1 above]my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.
6 # [See ver. 2 above] He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
7On God rests my #See Ps. 3:8 salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, #See Ps. 14:6my refuge is God.
8 # See Ps. 37:3 Trust in him at all times, O people;
# See Ps. 42:4 pour out your heart before him;
God is #[See ver. 7 above]a refuge for us. Selah
9 #
Ps. 39:5; [Isa. 40:17] Those of low estate are but a breath;
those of high estate #[Ps. 116:11]are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
#
Ps. 39:5; [Isa. 40:17] they are together lighter than a breath.
10Put no trust in extortion;
# See Prov. 1:10-19 set no vain hopes on robbery;
#
Luke 12:15; See Ps. 49:6 if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
11 #
Job 33:14; 40:5 Once God has spoken;
#
Job 33:14; 40:5 twice have I heard this:
that #Rev. 19:1; [Ps. 59:9, 17]power belongs to God,
12and that to you, O Lord, #Ps. 86:5, 15; 103:8; Dan. 9:9 belongs steadfast love.
For you will #See Job 34:11render to a man
according to his work.
