Psalm 62

International Children’s Bible

³ How long will you attack me?
    Will all of you throw me down?
    I am like a leaning wall, like a fence ready to fall.
⁴ You are planning to make me fall.
    You enjoy telling lies about me.
With your mouth you bless me.
    But in your heart you curse me. Selah

⁵ I wait patiently for God to save me.
    Only he gives me hope.
⁶ He is my rock, who saves me.
    He protects me like a strong, walled city.
    I will not be defeated.
⁷ My honor and salvation come from God.
    He is my mighty rock and my protection.

⁸ People, trust God all the time.
    Tell him all your problems.
    God is our protection. Selah

⁹ People are only a breath.
    Even the greatest men are just a lie.
On the scales, they weigh nothing.
    Together they are only a breath.
¹⁰ Do not trust in force.
    Stealing is of no use.
Even if you gain more riches,
    don’t put your trust in them.

¹¹ God has said this,
    and I have heard it over and over:
    God, you are strong.
¹² Lord, you are loving.
    You reward a person for what he does.
