| Chapter 62 |
1 | My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.
|
2 | He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress -- I will never be greatly shaken.
|
3 | How long will you assault a man, Would all of you throw him down, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
|
4 | They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
|
5 | My soul, wait in silence for God alone, For my expectation is from him.
|
6 | He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.
|
7 | With God is my salvation and my honor. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
|
8 | Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.
|
9 | Surely men of low degree are just a breath, And men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.
|
10 | Don't trust in oppression. Don't become vain in robbery. If riches increase, Don't set your heart on them.
|
11 | God has spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongs to God.
|
12 | Also to you, Lord, belongs lovingkindness, For you reward every man according to his work. Psalm 63 A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah.
