Psalm 62:5-12

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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.^(A)
7 On God rests my deliverance and my honor;
    my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.^(B)

⁸ Trust in him at all times, O people;
    pour out your heart before him;
    God is a refuge for us. Selah^(C)

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.^(D)
10 Put no confidence in extortion,
    and set no vain hopes on robbery;
    if riches increase, do not set your heart on them.^(E)

¹¹ Once God has spoken;
    twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,^(F)
12     and steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord.
For you repay to all
    according to their work.^(G)
