Psalm 62
62
My Soul Waits for God Alone
To the choirmaster: according to #See Ps. 39, titleJeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1For God alone #See Ps. 33:20 my soul #[Ps. 37:7]waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.
2 #
Ps. 18:2 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my #See Ps. 9:9 fortress; #See Ps. 10:6I shall not be greatly shaken.
3How long will all of you attack a man
to batter him,
like #[Isa. 30:13]a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
4They only plan to thrust him down from his #Job 13:11 high position.
They take pleasure in falsehood.
# See Ps. 28:3 They bless with their mouths,
but inwardly they curse. Selah
5For God alone, O #[See ver. 1 above]my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.
6 # [See ver. 2 above] He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
7On God rests my #See Ps. 3:8 salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, #See Ps. 14:6my refuge is God.
8 # See Ps. 37:3 Trust in him at all times, O people;
# See Ps. 42:4 pour out your heart before him;
God is #[See ver. 7 above]a refuge for us. Selah
9 #
Ps. 39:5; [Isa. 40:17] Those of low estate are but a breath;
those of high estate #[Ps. 116:11]are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
#
Ps. 39:5; [Isa. 40:17] they are together lighter than a breath.
10Put no trust in extortion;
# See Prov. 1:10-19 set no vain hopes on robbery;
#
Luke 12:15; See Ps. 49:6 if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
11 #
Job 33:14; 40:5 Once God has spoken;
#
Job 33:14; 40:5 twice have I heard this:
that #Rev. 19:1; [Ps. 59:9, 17]power belongs to God,
12and that to you, O Lord, #Ps. 86:5, 15; 103:8; Dan. 9:9 belongs steadfast love.
For you will #See Job 34:11render to a man
according to his work.

PSALM 62.
1A psalm of David when he was in the desert of Edom.
2O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
3In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
4For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips shall praise.
5Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
6Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
7If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:
8because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:
9my soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.
10But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
11They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
12But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
