Psalms 62 [Commentary]
|
1. |
For the choir director; according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. My soul waits in silence for God only; From Him is my salvation.
|
2. |
He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.
|
3. |
How long will you assail a man, That you may murder him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
|
4. |
They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouth, But inwardly they curse. Selah.
|
5. |
My soul, wait in silence for God only, For my hope is from Him.
|
6. |
He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
|
7. |
On God my salvation and my glory rest; 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. |
Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie; In the balances they go up; They are together lighter than breath.
|
10. |
Do not trust in oppression And do not vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.
|
11. |
Once God has spoken; Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God;
|
12. |
And lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord, For You recompense a man according to his work.
