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.

Psalms 62
62
For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1My soul waiteth only upon God:
From him cometh my salvation.
2He only is my rock and my salvation:
He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.
3How long will ye set upon a man,
That ye may slay him, all of you,
Like a bowing wall, like a tottering fence?
4They only consult to thrust him down from his excellency;
They delight in lies:
They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah
5My soul, wait thou only upon God;
For my expectation is from him.
6He only is my rock and my salvation:
He is my high tower;
I shall not be moved.
7With God is my salvation and my glory:
The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8Trust in him at all times, ye people;
Pour out your heart before him:
God is a refuge for us. Selah
9Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie:
In the balances they will go up;
They are together lighter than vanity.
10Trust not in oppression,
And become not vain in robbery:
If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
11God hath spoken once,
Twice have I heard this;
That power belongeth unto God:
12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy:
For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
