Psalm 62
New King James Version

A Calm Resolve to Wait for the Salvation of God

To the Chief Musician. To^(A)Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

62 Truly^(B)my soul silentlywaitsfor God;
From Himcomesmy salvation.
²He onlyismy rock and my salvation;
He ismy^[a]defense;
I shall not be greatly^(C)moved.^[b]

³How long will you attack a man?
You shall be slain, all of you,
^(D)Like a leaning wall and a tottering fence.
⁴They only consult to casthimdown from his high position;
They^(E)delight in lies;
They bless with their mouth,
But they curse inwardly.Selah

⁵My soul, wait silently for God alone,
For my^[c]expectationisfrom Him.
⁶He onlyismy rock and my salvation;
He ismy defense;
I shall not be^[d]moved.
⁷^(F)In Godismy salvation and my glory;
The rock of my strength,
Andmy refuge,isin God.

⁸Trust in Him at all times, you people;
^(G)Pour out your heart before Him;
Godisa refuge for us.Selah

⁹^(H)Surely men of low degreeare^[e]a vapor,
Men of high degreearea lie;
If they are weighed on the scales,
Theyarealtogetherlighterthan vapor.
¹⁰Do not trust in oppression,
Nor vainly hope in robbery;
^(I)If riches increase,
Do not setyourhearton them.

¹¹God has spoken once,
Twice I have heard this:
That powerbelongsto God.
¹²Also to You, O Lord,belongsmercy;
For^(J)You^[f]render to each one according to his work.
