Psalms 62
62
Trust Only in God
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
1I find rest in God;
only he can save me.
2He is my rock and my salvation.
He is my defender;
I will not be defeated.
3How long will you attack someone?
Will all of you kill that person?
Who is like a leaning wall, like a fence ready to fall?
4They are planning to make that person fall.
They enjoy telling lies.
With their mouths they bless,
but in their hearts they curse.Selah
5I find rest in God;
only he gives me hope.
6He is my rock and my salvation.
He is my defender;
I will not be defeated.
7My honor and salvation come from God.
He is my mighty rock and my protection.
8People, trust God all the time.
Tell him all your problems,
because God is our protection.Selah
9The least of people are only a breath,
and even the greatest are just a lie.
On the scales, they weigh nothing;
together they are only a breath.
10Do not trust in force.
Stealing is of no use.
Even if you gain more riches,
don’t put your trust in them.
11God has said this,
and I have heard it over and over:
God is strong.
12The Lord is loving.
You reward people for what they have done.

Psalm 62
For the choir director; according to Jeduthun; a psalm by David.
1My soul waits calmly for God alone.
My salvation comes from him.
2He alone is my rock and my savior—my stronghold.
I cannot be severely shaken.
3How long will all of you attack a person?
How long will you try to murder him,
as though he were a leaning wall or a sagging fence?
4They plan to force him out of his high position.
They are happy to lie.
They bless with their mouths,
but in their hearts they curse. Selah
5Wait calmly for God alone, my soul,
because my hope comes from him.
6He alone is my rock and my savior—my stronghold.
I cannot be shaken.
7My salvation and my glory depend on God.
God is the rock of my strength, my refuge.
8Trust him at all times, you people.
Pour out your hearts in his presence.
God is our refuge. Selah
9Common people are only a whisper in the wind.
Important people are only a delusion.
When all of them are weighed on a scale, they amount to nothing.
They are less than a whisper in the wind.
10Do not count on extortion ⌞to make you rich⌟.
Do not hope to gain anything through robbery.
When riches increase, do not depend on them.
11God has spoken once.
I have heard it ⌞said⌟ twice:
“Power belongs to God.
12Mercy belongs to you, O Lord.
You reward a person based on what he has done.”
