A Calm Resolve to Wait for the Salvation of God

To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

62 Truly my soul silently waits for God;From Him comes my salvation.² He only is my rock and my salvation;He is my defense;I shall not be greatly moved.

³ How long will you attack a man?You shall be slain, all of you,Like a leaning wall and a tottering fence.⁴ They only consult to cast him down from his high position;They delight in lies;They bless with their mouth,But they curse inwardly. Selah

⁵ My soul, wait silently for God alone,For my expectation is from Him.⁶ He only is my rock and my salvation;He is my defense;I shall not be moved.⁷ In God is my salvation and my glory;The rock of my strength,And my refuge, is in God.

⁸ Trust in Him at all times, you people;Pour out your heart before Him;God is a refuge for us. Selah

⁹ Surely men of low degree are a vapor,Men of high degree are a lie;If they are weighed on the scales,They are altogether lighter than vapor.¹⁰ Do not trust in oppression,Nor vainly hope in robbery;If riches increase,Do not set your heart on them.

¹¹ God has spoken once,Twice I have heard this:That power belongs to God.¹² Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy;For You render to each one according to his work.
