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 ¶ Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David. Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.

 62:2 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.

 62:3 How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.

 62:4 But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.

 62:5 But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.

 62:6 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.

 62:7 In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.

 62:8 Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.

 62:9 But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.

 62:10 Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.

 62:11 God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,

 62:12 And mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
