Psalm 62
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.
7 My (J)salvation and my glory rest on God;
The rock of my strength, my (K)refuge is in God.
8 (L)Trust in Him at all times, you people;
(M)Pour out your hearts before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah
9 People of (N)low standing are only (O)breath, and people of rank are a (P)lie;
In the (Q)balances they go up.
Together they are lighter than breath.
10 (R)Do not trust in oppression,
And do not vainly rely on (S)robbery;
If wealth increases, (T)do not set your heart on it.
11 God has (U)spoken [c]once;
[d]Twice I have heard this:
That (V)power belongs to God;
12 And faithfulness (W)is Yours, Lord,
For You (X)reward a person according to his work.

Psalm 62
Song of Trust in God Alone
To the leader: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1 For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.(A)
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall never be shaken.(B)
3 How long will you assail a person,
will you batter your victim, all of you,
as you would a leaning wall, a tottering fence?(C)
4 Their only plan is to bring down a person of prominence.
They take pleasure in falsehood;
they bless with their mouths,
but inwardly they curse. Selah(D)
5 For God alone my soul waits in silence,
for my hope is from him.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.(E)
7 On God rests my deliverance and my honor;
my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.(F)
8 Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah(G)
