Psalms 62

1 David, professing his confidence in God, discourageth his enemies. 5 In the same confidence he encourageth the godly. 9 No trust is to be put in worldly things. 11 Power and mercy belong to God.

 62:1 ¶ [[For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.]] My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From him [cometh] my salvation.

 62:2 He only is my rock and my salvation: [He is] my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

 62:3 How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay [him], all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

 62:4 They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

 62:5 My soul, wait thou in silence for God only; For my expectation is from him.

 62:6 He only is my rock and my salvation: [He is] my high tower; I shall not be moved.

 62:7 With God is my salvation and my glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

 62:8 Trust in him at all times, ye people; Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

 62:9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.

 62:10 Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart [thereon].

 62:11 God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God.

 62:12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness; For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
