Psalm

62 Indeed toward God is my soul [waiting in] silence.*+

From him my salvation is.+

 2 Indeed he is my rock and my salvation, my secure height;+

I shall not be made to totter very much.+

 3 How long will YOU carry on frantically against the man whom YOU would murder?+

All of YOU are like a leaning wall, a stone wall that is being pushed in.+

 4 Indeed they give advice so as to allure from one’s own dignity;+

They take pleasure in a lie.+

With their mouth they bless, but inside themselves they call down evil.+ Seʹlah.

 5 Indeed toward God wait silently, O my soul,+

Because from him is my hope.+

 6 Indeed he is my rock and my salvation, my secure height;+

I shall not be made to totter.+

 7 Upon God are my salvation and my glory.+

My strong rock, my refuge is in God.+

 8 Trust in him at all times, O people.+

Before him pour out YOUR heart.+

God is a refuge for us.+ Seʹlah.

 9 Indeed the sons of earthling man* are an exhalation,+

The sons of mankind* are a lie.+

When laid upon the scales they are all together lighter than an exhalation.+

10 Do not put YOUR trust in defrauding,+

Nor become vain in sheer robbery.+

In case the means of maintenance should thrive, do not set YOUR heart [on them].+

11 Once God has spoken, twice I have heard even this,+

That strength belongs to God.+

12 Also loving-kindness belongs to you, O Jehovah,*+

For you yourself pay back to each one* according to his work.+
