Psalm 62

NASB

Psalm 62

God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.

^{Tools
1} For the choir director; ^(a)according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

^(A)My soul waits in silence for God only;
From Him ^(B)is my salvation.

^{Tools
2}

He only is my ^(C)rock and my salvation,
My ^(D)stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

^{Tools
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?

^{Tools
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.

^{Tools
5}

My soul, ^(H)wait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him.

^{Tools
6}

He only is ^(I)my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

^{Tools
7}

On God my ^(J)salvation and my glory rest;
The rock of my strength, my ^(K)refuge is in God.

^{Tools
8}

^(L)Trust in Him at all times, O people;
^(M)Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah.

^{Tools
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.

^{Tools
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.

^{Tools
11}

^(e)Once God has ^(U)spoken;
^(f)Twice I have heard this:
That ^(V)power belongs to God;

^{Tools
12}

And lovingkindness ^(W)is Yours, O Lord,
For You ^(X)recompense a man according to his work.
