Psalm 62 - Modern English Version

For the Music Director. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

¹ For God alone my soul silently waits; from Him comes my salvation.

² He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my refuge; I shall not be greatly shaken.

³ How long will you assault a man? So you can murder all of you, like a leaning wall and a tottering fence.

⁴ They only conspire to cast him down from his high position; they delight in lies, they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.    Selah

⁵ My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.

⁶ He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved.

⁷ On God rests my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, 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 Surely men of low degree are but a vapor; men of high degree are a lie; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than vapor.

¹⁰ Trust not in oppression; put no vain hope in robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them.

¹¹ God has spoken once; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God.

¹² Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy. For You render to every man according to his work.
