Psalm 62:1-6
New American Standard Bible
God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.
For the music director; [a]according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
62 (A)My soul waits in silence for God alone;
From Him (B)comes my salvation.
2 He alone is my (C)rock and my salvation,
My (D)stronghold; I will not be greatly shaken.
3 How long will you attack a man,
That you may murder him, all of you,
Like a (E)leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
4 They have planned only to thrust him down from his high position;
They (F)delight in falsehood;
They (G)bless with [b]their mouth,
But inwardly they curse. Selah
5 My soul, (H)wait in silence for God alone,
For my hope is from Him.
6 He alone is (I)my rock and my salvation,
My refuge; I will not be shaken.

New International Version
Psalm 62[a]
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
1 Truly my soul finds rest(A) in God;(B)
my salvation comes from him.
2 Truly he is my rock(C) and my salvation;(D)
he is my fortress,(E) I will never be shaken.(F)
3 How long will you assault me?
Would all of you throw me down—
this leaning wall,(G) this tottering fence?
4 Surely they intend to topple me
from my lofty place;
they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
but in their hearts they curse.[b](H)
5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God;(I)
my hope comes from him.
6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
