Psalm 62
To the Overcomer, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
1¶ Only in God does my soul rest; from him comes my saving health.
2He only is my rock and my saving health; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? Shall ye murder each other until ye are as a bowing wall and as a tottering fence?
4They only consult to cast him down from his greatness; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse in their inward parts. Selah.
5My soul, rest thou only in God, for my hope is from him.
6He only is my rock and my saving health; he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7In God is my saving health and my glory; the rock of my strength and my refuge is in God.
8¶ Wait in him at all times; ye peoples, pour out your heart before him; God is our refuge. Selah.
9Surely the sons of Adam are vanity, and the sons of nobles are a lie; to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10Trust not in violence and become not vain in the taking of spoil; if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11God has spoken once; twice have I heard this that power belongs unto God.
12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongs mercy, for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

Confidence in God's Protection#Ps 62 Hebrew title: A psalm by David.
1I wait patiently for God to save me;
I depend on him alone.
2He alone protects and saves me;
he is my defender,
and I shall never be defeated.
3How much longer will all of you attack someone
who is no stronger than a broken-down fence?
4You only want to bring him down from his place of honour;
you take pleasure in lies.
You speak words of blessing,
but in your heart you curse him.
5I depend on God alone;
I put my hope in him.
6He alone protects and saves me;
he is my defender,
and I shall never be defeated.
7My salvation and honour depend on God;
he is my strong protector;
he is my shelter.
8Trust in God at all times, my people.
Tell him all your troubles,
for he is our refuge.
9Human beings are all like a puff of breath;
great and small alike are worthless.
Put them on the scales, and they weigh nothing;
they are lighter than a mere breath.
10Don't put your trust in violence;
don't hope to gain anything by robbery;
even if your riches increase,
don't depend on them.
11More than once I have heard God say
that power belongs to him
12 #
Job 34.11; Jer 17.10; Mt 16.27; Rom 2.6; Rev 2.23 and that his love is constant.
You yourself, O Lord, reward everyone according to his deeds.
