Psalms 62

1 For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. 2 Only for G-d doth my soul wait in stillness; from Him cometh my salvation. 3 He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be greatly moved. 4 How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may slay him, all of you, as a leaning wall, a tottering fence? 5 They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah 6 Only for G-d wait thou in stillness, my soul; for from Him cometh my hope. 7 He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be moved. 8 Upon G-d resteth my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in G-d. 9 Trust in Him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before Him; G-d is a refuge for us. Selah 10 Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; if they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity. 11 Trust not in oppression, and put not vain hope in robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart thereon. 12 G-d hath spoken once, twice have I heard this: that strength belongeth unto G-d; 13 Also unto Thee, O L-rd, belongeth mercy; for Thou renderest to every man according to his work.
