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

from his high position.
They take pleasure in lying;
they bless with their mouths,
but they curse inwardly.#Ps 4:2; 55:21Selah

pour out your hearts before him.
God is our refuge.#Ps 91:2; 118:8–9Selah

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

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
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.”
