62
1 For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
2 In God alone my soul finds rest;
my deliverance comes from him.
3 He alone is my rock and my deliverance.
He is my fortress;
I will never be shaken.
4 How long will you threaten a man?
Will all of you throw him down
like a leaning wall
or a tottering fence?
5 They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch;
they delight in lies;
with their mouths they bless,
but inwardly they curse.
Selah
6 Rest in God alone, O my soul,
for my hope comes from him.
7 He alone is my rock and my deliverance;
he is my fortress; I will not be shaken.
8 My deliverance and my honor rest on God, my strong rock;
my refuge is in God.
9 Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts before him.
God is our refuge.
Selah
10 Lowborn men are but a vapor;
the exalted are but a lie.
Weighed on the scale, they go up;
together they are but a vapor.
11 Place no trust in extortion
or false hope in stolen goods.
If your riches increase,
do not set your heart upon them.
12 God has spoken once;
I have heard this twice:
that power belongs to God,
13 and loving devotion to you, O Lord.
For you will repay each man
according to his deeds.
