Psalm 62
62
God the Only Refuge
To the chief Musician, to Jedu´thun, A Psalm of David.
1Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
2He only is my rock and my salvation;
he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.
3How long will ye imagine mischief against a man?
Ye shall be slain all of you:
as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4They only consult to cast 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 defense; I shall not be moved.
7In 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:
to be laid in the balance,
they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10Trust not in oppression,
and become not vain in robbery:
if riches increase,
set not your heart upon them.
11God hath spoken once;
twice have I heard this;
that power belongeth unto God.
12 #
Job 34.11; Jer 17.10; Matt 16.27; Rom 2.6; Rev 2.23. Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy:
for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

Psalm 62
For the choir director; according to Jeduthun; a psalm by David.
1My soul waits calmly for God alone.
My salvation comes from him.
2He alone is my rock and my savior—my stronghold.
I cannot be severely shaken.
3How long will all of you attack a person?
How long will you try to murder him,
as though he were a leaning wall or a sagging fence?
4They plan to force him out of his high position.
They are happy to lie.
They bless with their mouths,
but in their hearts they curse. Selah
5Wait calmly for God alone, my soul,
because my hope comes from him.
6He alone is my rock and my savior—my stronghold.
I cannot be shaken.
7My salvation and my glory depend on God.
God is the rock of my strength, my refuge.
8Trust him at all times, you people.
Pour out your hearts in his presence.
God is our refuge. Selah
9Common people are only a whisper in the wind.
Important people are only a delusion.
When all of them are weighed on a scale, they amount to nothing.
They are less than a whisper in the wind.
10Do not count on extortion ⌞to make you rich⌟.
Do not hope to gain anything through robbery.
When riches increase, do not depend on them.
11God has spoken once.
I have heard it ⌞said⌟ twice:
“Power belongs to God.
12Mercy belongs to you, O Lord.
You reward a person based on what he has done.”
