Psalm 62

Legacy Standard Bible

³ How long will you assail a man,
That you may murder him, all of you,
Like a ^(E)leaning wall, like a fence thrust down?
⁴ Surely they have counseled to thrust him down from his high position;
They ^(F)find pleasure in falsehood;
They ^(G)bless with ^[b]their mouth,
But inwardly they curse. ^[c]Selah.

⁵ Surely ^(H)wait in silence for God, O my soul,
For my hope is from Him.
⁶ Surely He is ^(I)my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
⁷ On God my ^(J)salvation and my glory rest;
The rock of my strength, my ^(K)refuge is in God.
^8 (L)Trust in Him at all times, O people;
^(M)Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah.

⁹ Surely ^[d]men of ^(N)low degree are merely ^(O)vanity and ^[e]men of rank are a ^(P)lie;
In the ^(Q)balances they go up;
They are together lighter than a breath of vanity.
^10 (R)Do not trust in oppression
And do not put vain hope in ^(S)robbery;
If riches increase, ^(T)do not set your heart upon them.

^11 [f]Once God has ^(U)spoken;
^[g]Twice I have heard this:
That ^(V)strength belongs to God;
¹² And that ^(W)to You, O Lord, belongs lovingkindness,
For You ^(X)repay a man according to his work.
