Psalm 62

[1]   For God alone my soul waits in silence;  

          from him comes my salvation.  

[2]   He alone is my rock and my salvation,  

          my fortress; I shall never be shaken.

[3]   How long will you assail a person,  

          will you batter your victim, all of you,  

          as you would a leaning wall, a tottering fence?  

[4]   Their only plan is to bring down a person of prominence.  

          They take pleasure in falsehood;  

     they bless with their mouths,  

          but inwardly they curse.                                           

Selah

[5]   For God alone my soul waits in silence,  

          for my hope is from him.  

[6]   He alone is my rock and my salvation,  

          my fortress; I shall not be shaken.  

[7]   On God rests my deliverance and my honor;  

          my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.

[8]   Trust in him at all times, O people;  

          pour out your heart before him;  

          God is a refuge for us.                                             

      Selah

[9]   Those of low estate are but a breath,  

          those of high estate are a delusion;  

     in the balances they go up;  

          they are together lighter than a breath.  

[10]  Put no confidence in extortion,  

          and set no vain hopes on robbery;  

          if riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

[11]  Once God has spoken;  

          twice have I heard this:  

     that power belongs to God,  

[12]       and steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord.  

     For you repay to all  

          according to their work.
