Psalm 62, NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from him.
 

2

He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
 

3

How long will you assault a man?
Would all of you throw him down —
this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
 

4

They fully intend to topple him
from his lofty place;
they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
but in their hearts they curse.
Selah
 

5

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from him.
 

6

He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
 

7

My salvation and my honour depend on God;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
 

8

Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.
Selah
 

9

Lowborn men are but a breath,
the highborn are but a lie;
if weighed on a balance, they are nothing;
together they are only a breath.
 

10

Do not trust in extortion
or take pride in stolen goods;
though your riches increase,
do not set your heart on them.
 

11

One thing God has spoken,
two things have I heard:
that you, O God, are strong,
 

12

and that you, O Lord, are loving.
Surely you will reward each person
according to what he has done.
