Psalm 62:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
62 This Psalm partly containeth meditation, whereby David encourageth himself to trust in God against the assaults of temptations. And because our minds are easily drawn from God by the allurements of the world, he sharply reproveth this vanity, to the intent he might cleave fast to the Lord.
To the excellent Musician (A)Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1 Yet [a]my soul keepeth silence unto God; of him cometh my salvation.
2 [b]Yet he is my strength and my salvation, and my defense; therefore I shall not much be moved.
3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a [c]man? ye shall be all slain; ye shall be as a bowed wall, or as a [d]wall shaken.
