Psalm 62

Psalm 62

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Psalm 62

God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.
    For the choir director; [a]according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. 1 (A)My soul waits in silence for God only;
From Him (B)is my salvation.
2 He only is my (C)rock and my salvation,
My (D)stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.
 3 How long will you assail a man,
That you may murder him, all of you,
Like a (E)leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
4 They have counseled 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.
                         [c]Selah.

 5 My soul, (H)wait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him.
6 He only 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 Men of (N)low degree are only (O)vanity and men of rank are a (P)lie;
In the (Q)balances they go up;
They are together lighter than breath.
10 (R)Do not trust in oppression
And do not [d]vainly hope in (S)robbery;
If riches increase, (T)do not set your heart upon them.
 11 [e]Once God has (U)spoken;
[f]Twice I have heard this:
That (V)power belongs to God;
12 And lovingkindness (W)is Yours, O Lord,
For You (X)recompense a man according to his work.
