| Chapter 62 |
1 |
{To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.} Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation. |
2 |
He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved. |
3 |
How long will ye assail a man; will ye seek, all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence? |
4 |
They only consult to thrust him down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah. |
5 |
Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him. |
6 |
He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved. |
7 |
With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. |
8 |
Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah. |
9 |
Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together lighter than vanity. |
10 |
Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it. |
11 |
Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength belongeth unto God. |
12 |
And unto thee, O Lord, belongeth loving-kindness; for *thou* renderest to every man according to his work. |
