For God alone my soul waits in silence,
    for my hope is from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my deliverance and my honour;
    my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.

Trust in him at all times, O people;
    pour out your heart before him;
    God is a refuge for us.Selah

Those of low estate are but a breath,
    those of high estate are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
    they are together lighter than a breath.
10 Put no confidence in extortion,
    and set no vain hopes on robbery;
    if riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

11 Once God has spoken;
    twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,
12     and steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord.
For you repay to all
    according to their work.

Yes, my soul, find rest in God;(A)
    my hope comes from him.
Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
    he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God[a];
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.(B)
Trust in him at all times, you people;(C)
    pour out your hearts to him,(D)
    for God is our refuge.

Surely the lowborn(E) are but a breath,(F)
    the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance,(G) they are nothing;
    together they are only a breath.
10 Do not trust in extortion(H)
    or put vain hope in stolen goods;(I)
though your riches increase,
    do not set your heart on them.(J)

11 One thing God has spoken,
    two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,(K)
12     and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;(L)
and, “You reward everyone
    according to what they have done.”(M)

  1. Psalm 62:7 Or / God Most High is my salvation and my honor

My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
