Confidence in God’s Salvation

For the music director, on Jeduthun.[a]

A psalm of David.[b]

62 
Only for God my soul waits in silence.

From him is my salvation.

2 Only he is my rock and my salvation,

my high stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

3 How long will you attack a man?

All of you will be shattered[c]

like a leaning wall, a tottering fence.

4 They only[d] plan to thrust him down from his high position;

they are pleased with deception.

With their mouths[e] they bless,

but inwardly[f] they curse. Selah

5 Only for God wait in silence, O my soul,

because my hope is from him.

6 Only he is my rock and my salvation,

my high stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

7 On God rests my salvation and my glory;

God[g] is my strong rock, my refuge.

8 Trust him at all times, O people;

pour out before him your heart.

God is a refuge for us. Selah

9 Only a vapor[h] are men of low degree,

a deception are men of high degree.

Weighed[i] in a balance,

together they are lighter than a vapor.

10 Do not trust in extortion,

and do not put vain confidence in robbery.

If wealth increases,

do not set your heart on it.

11 Once God has spoken;

twice I have heard this:

that strength belongs to God.

12 And to you belongs loyal love, O Lord,

because you will render to each according to his work.
