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 Overseer, for Jeduthun. --A Psalm of David. Only--toward God is my soul silent, From Him is my salvation.
2
Only--He is my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved.
3
Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are destroyed all of you, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.
4
Only--from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. Selah.

Wait Patiently for God Alone

5
Only--for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him is my hope.
6
Only--He is my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.
7
On God is my salvation, and my honour, The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
8
Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth before Him your heart, God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Human Vanity and Divine Power

9
Only--vanity are the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity are lighter.
10
Trust not in oppression, And in robbery become not vain, Wealth--when it increaseth--set not the heart.
11
Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That `strength is with God.'
12
And with Thee, O Lord, is kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!
