Psalms62

Psalm 62 expresses David's unwavering trust in God as his sole source of salvation, strength, and defense, despite the malicious intentions of his enemies. He declares that only from God comes his expectation and stability. The psalmist exhorts his soul and all people to trust in God at all times, pouring out their hearts before Him. He contrasts God's steadfastness with the vanity of human power, riches, and deceit.

God Alone Is My Salvation

1
To the excelletn musician Ieduthun. A Psalme of David. Yet my soule keepeth silence vnto God: of him commeth my saluation.
2
Yet he is my strength and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not much be mooued.
3
How long wil ye imagine mischiefe against a man? ye shalbe all slaine: ye shalbe as a bowed wall, or as a wall shaken.
4
Yet they consult to cast him downe from his dignitie: their delight is in lies, they blesse with their mouthes, but curse with their hearts. Selah.

Wait Patiently for God Alone

5
Yet my soule keepe thou silence vnto God: for mine hope is in him.
6
Yet is hee my strength, and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not be mooued.
7
In God is my saluation and my glory, the rocke of my strength: in God is my trust.
8
Trust in him alway, ye people: powre out your hearts before him, for God is our hope. Selah.

Human Vanity and Divine Power

9
Yet the children of men are vanitie, the chiefe men are lies: to lay them vpon a balance they are altogether lighter then vanitie.
10
Trust not in oppression nor in robberie: be not vaine: if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
11
God spake once or twise, I haue heard it, that power belongeth vnto God,
12
And to thee, O Lord, mercie: for thou rewardest euery one according to his worke.
