Psalm 62

C.M.

1My soul finds rest in God alone; salvation comes from Him.
My soul in silence waits for God; I only look to Him.

2He only is my fortress, rock, and my salvation sure;
I’ll not be shaken, for He is my stronghold evermore.

3How long will you assail a man? Would all you throw him down—
And treat him like a leaning wall, or fence that’s tottering ’round?

4They plot for ill to thrust him down from his high place or worse;
They joy in lies—with their mouths bless, but in their hearts they curse.Selah

5Find rest, my soul, in God alone, for my hope comes from Him.
In silence wait for God, my soul; and only look to Him.

6He only is my fortress, rock, and my salvation sure;
I’ll not be shaken, for He is my stronghold evermore.

7For my salvation, honor too, depend on God alone.
He is my mighty rock of strength, my refuge—He alone.

8O people, trust in Him always; at all times, all day long;
Pour out your hearts before Him for God is our refuge strong.Selah

9For lowborn men are but a breath, and highborn men a lie;
When on the balance they are weighed, they’re only a breath’s sigh.

10Trust not in greed, oppression, nor put hope in robbery;
If wealth increase, don’t set your heart upon its vanity.

11One thing God spoke, two things I’ve heard: that You, O God, are strong,
12And loving, too, Lord—You reward each one as they have done.
