Psalms 62
62
Psalm 62#In Hebrew texts 62:1-12 is numbered 62:2-13.
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
1Truly my soul finds rest in God;
my salvation comes from him.
2Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
3How long will you assault me?
Would all of you throw me down—
this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
4Surely 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.#62:4 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verse 8.
5Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
my hope comes from him.
6Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7My salvation and my honor depend on God#62:7 Or / God Most High is my salvation and my honor;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8Trust in him at all times, you people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.
9Surely the lowborn are but a breath,
the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance, they are nothing;
together they are only a breath.
10Do not trust in extortion
or put vain hope in stolen goods;
though your riches increase,
do not set your heart on them.
11One thing God has spoken,
two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,
12and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;
and, “You reward everyone
according to what they have done.”

Psalms 62
62
For Jeduthun, the music director. A psalm of David.
1Only in God do I find peace; my salvation comes from him.
2He is the one who protects me and saves me; he keeps me safe so I will never be in danger.
3How long are you#62:3. The psalmist now addresses his enemies. going to attack me? All of you against one man! To you I'm just a broken wall, a collapsed fence.
4They plan to throw me down from my high position; they love to tell lies. They say nice things to me, but inside they're cursing me. Selah.
5Only in God do I find peace; my hope comes from him.
6He is the one who protects me and saves me; he keeps me safe so I will not be in danger.
7My salvation and my success#62:7. Literally, “glory.” come from God alone; God is my security and my protection.
8My people, always trust in him. Pour out all your thoughts to him, for he is the one who looks after us. Selah.
9Ordinary people are mere breaths, while leaders are just fakes. Put them all together and weigh them on scales and they wouldn't weigh more than air!
10Don't trust in money made by extortion or robbery. Don't be proud of your wealth even if you are successful—don't make money what you live for.
11God has already made it clear—I have heard it many times—power belongs to you, God.
12You show us trustworthy love. You give back to people in return for what they've done.
