The Book of Psalms

 

Chapter 62

 

 

1.

 

To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. A Psalm. Of David.
My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my salvation.

    
 
 

2.

 

He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.

    
 
 

3.

 

How long will you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?

    
 
 

4.

 

Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (Selah.)

    
 
 

5.

 

My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my hope.

    
 
 

6.

 

He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.

    
 
 

7.

 

In God is my salvation, and my glory; the Rock of my strength, and my safe place.

    
 
 

8.

 

Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah.)

    
 
 

9.

 

Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath.

    
 
 

10.

 

Have no faith in the rewards of evil-doing, or in profits wrongly made: if your wealth is increased, do not put your hopes on it.

    
 
 

11.

 

Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's:

    
 
 

12.

 

And mercy, O Lord, is yours, for you give to every man the reward of his work.
