Psalm 62, NEW REVISED STANDARD VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.
 

2

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

3

How long will you assail a person, will you batter your victim, all of you, as you would a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
 

4

Their only plan is to bring down a person of prominence.  They take pleasure in falsehood; they bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse.  (Selah)
 

5

For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him.

6

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

7

On God rests my deliverance and my honour; my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.
 

8

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.  (Selah)
 

9

Those of low estate are but a breath, those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath.
 

10

Put no confidence in extortion, and set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
 

11

Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God,
 

12

and steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord.  For you repay to all according to their work.
