PSALM 62
1For the lead player, on jeduthun, a David psalm.
2Only in God is my being quiet.
From Him is my rescue.
3Only He is my rock and my rescue,
my stronghold—I shall not stumble long.
4How long will you demolish a man—
commit murder, each one of you—
a shaky fence?
5Only from his high place they schemed to shake him.
They took pleasure in lies.
With their mouths they blessed
and inwardly cursed.
selah
6Only in God be quiet, my being,
for from Him is my hope.
7Only He is my rock and my rescue,
my fortress—I shall not stumble.
8From God is my rescue and glory,
my strength’s rock and my shelter in God.
9Trust in Him at all times, O people.
Pour out your hearts before Him.
God is our shelter.
selah
10Only breath—humankind,
the sons of man are a lie.
they weigh less than a breath.
11Do not trust in oppression
and of theft have no illusions.
Though it bear fruit of wealth,
set your heart not upon it.
12One thing God has spoken,
two things have I heard:
13that strength is but God’s,
and Yours, Master, is kindness.
