Psalms 62
Of David
1 In God alone there is rest for my soul, from him comes my safety;
2 with him alone for my rock, my safety, my fortress, I can never fall.
3 How many times will you come rushing at a man, all of you, to bring him down like a wall already leaning over, like a rampart undermined?
4 Deceit their sole intention, their delight is to mislead; with lies on their lips they bless aloud, while cursing inwardly. (pause)
5 Rest in God alone, my soul! He is the source of my hope;
6 with him alone for my rock, my safety, my fortress, I can never fall;
7 rest in God, my safety, my glory, the rock of my strength. In God, I find shelter;
8 rely on him people, at all times; unburden your hearts to him, God is a shelter for us (pause)
9 Ordinary men are only a puff of wind, important men[*a] delusion; put both in the scales and up they go, lighter than a puff of wind.
10 Put no reliance on extortion, no empty hopes in robbery; though riches may increase, keep your heart detached.
11 God has spoken once, twice I have heard this: it is for God to be strong, for you,
12 Lord, to be loving; and you yourself repay man as his works deserve.
