Psalm 62

New American Standard Bible

God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.

For the music director; ^[a]according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

62 ^(A)My soul waits in silence for God alone;
From Him ^(B)comes my salvation.
²He alone is my ^(C)rock and my salvation,
My ^(D)stronghold; I will not be greatly shaken.

³How long will you attack a man,
That you may murder him, all of you,
Like a ^(E)leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
⁴They have planned only to thrust him down from his high position;
They ^(F)delight in falsehood;
They ^(G)bless with ^[b]their mouth,
But inwardly they curse. Selah

⁵My soul, ^(H)wait in silence for God alone,
For my hope is from Him.
⁶He alone is ^(I)my rock and my salvation,
My refuge; I will not be shaken.
⁷My ^(J)salvation and my glory rest on God;
The rock of my strength, my ^(K)refuge is in God.
⁸^(L)Trust in Him at all times, you people;
^(M)Pour out your hearts before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah

⁹People of ^(N)low standing are only ^(O)breath, and people of rank are a ^(P)lie;
In the ^(Q)balances they go up.
Together they are lighter than breath.
¹⁰^(R)Do not trust in oppression,
And do not vainly rely on ^(S)robbery;
If wealth increases, ^(T)do not set your heart on it.

¹¹God has ^(U)spoken ^[c]once;
^[d]Twice I have heard this:
That ^(V)power belongs to God;
¹²And faithfulness ^(W)is Yours, Lord,
For You ^(X)reward a person according to his work.
