Psalm 62:1-Psalm 63:1 - Trust In God Alone

¹ My soul rests quietly only when it looks to God; from him comes my deliverance. ² He alone is my rock, my deliverance, and my high tower; nothing will shake me.

³ How long will you rage against someone? Would you attack him as if he were a leaning wall or a tottering fence? ⁴ They plan to cast him down from his exalted position. They delight in lies; their mouth utters blessings, while their heart is cursing. Interlude

⁵ My soul, be quiet before God, for from him comes my hope. ⁶ He alone is my rock, my deliverance, and my high tower; nothing will shake me. ⁷ I rely on God who is my deliverance and my glory; he is my strong rock, and my refuge is in God. ⁸ People, in every situation put your trust in God; pour out your heart before him; for God is a refuge for us. Interlude

⁹ Human beings are a mere vapor, while people in high positions are not what they appear. When they are placed on the scales, they weigh nothing; even when weighed together, they are less than nothing. ¹⁰ Don't trust in oppression or put false hope in stealing; if you become wealthy, do not set your heart on it.

¹¹ God spoke once, but I heard it twice, "Power belongs to God." ¹² Also to you, Lord, belongs gracious love, because you reward each person according to what he does. A Davidic Psalm, while he was in the Judean wilderness.

¹ God, you are my God! I will fervently seek you. My soul thirsts for you; my flesh longs for you in a dry, weary, and parched land.
