Trust in God Alone
For the choir director: according to Jeduthun.#Ps 39 A psalm of David.

my salvation comes from him.#Ps 33:20; 37:39
2He alone is my rock and my salvation,#Dt 32:15; 2Sm 22:47
my stronghold; I will never be shaken.#Ps 37:24; 55:22
3How long will you threaten a man?
Will all of you attack#62:3 Some Hb mss read you be struck down
as if he were a leaning wall
or a tottering fence?#Is 30:13
4They only plan to bring him down
from his high position.
They take pleasure in lying;
they bless with their mouths,
but they curse inwardly.#Ps 4:2; 55:21Selah
5Rest in God alone, my soul,
for my hope comes from him.#Ps 71:5

My refuge is in God.#Ps 18:2
8Trust in him at all times, you people;
pour out your hearts before him.
God is our refuge.#Ps 91:2; 118:8–9Selah
9Common people are only a vapor;
important people, an illusion.
Together on a scale,
they weigh less than#62:9 Lit they go up more than a vapor.#Ps 39:5–6,11; Ec 1:2; Is 40:17
10Place no trust in oppression
or false hope in robbery.#Pr 22:16
If wealth increases,
don’t set your heart on it.#Jb 31:24–25; Pr 11:28; Mk 4:19; 1Tm 6:10,17–19

I have heard this twice:
strength belongs to God,#Jb 40:5
12and faithful love belongs to you, Lord.
For you repay each according to his works.#Mt 16:27; Rm 2:6; Rv 22:12

Psalms 62

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.
