Psalm 62
God Is a Refuge for Us
62For the choir director. According to 1Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
aSurely my soul waits in silence for God;From Him bis my salvation.2Surely He is my arock and my salvation,My bstronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.3How long will you assail a man,That you may murder him, all of you,Like a aleaning wall, like a fence thrust down?4Surely they have counseled to thrust him down from his high position;They afind pleasure in falsehood;They bbless with 1their mouth,But inwardly they curse. 2 Selah.5Surely await in silence for God, O my soul,For my hope is from Him.6Surely He is amy rock and my salvation,My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.7On God my asalvation and my glory rest;The rock of my strength, my brefuge is in God.8aTrust in Him at all times, O people;bPour out your heart before Him;God is a refuge for us. Selah.9Surely 1men of alow degree are merely bvanity and 2men of rank are a clie;In the dbalances they go up;They are together lighter than a breath of vanity.10aDo not trust in oppressionAnd do not put vain hope in brobbery;If riches increase, cdo not set your heart upon them.111Once God has aspoken;2Twice I have heard this:That bstrength belongs to God;12And that ato You, O Lord, belongs lovingkindness,For You brepay a man according to his work.
