Psalm 62
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. I wait quietly before God,
|
|
|
|
for my victory comes from him.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. He alone is my rock and my salvation,
|
|
|
|
my fortress where I will never be shaken.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. So many enemies against one man--
|
|
|
|
all of them trying to kill me.
|
|
|
|
To them I'm just a broken-down wall
|
|
|
|
or a tottering fence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. They plan to topple me from my high position.
|
|
|
|
They delight in telling lies about me.
|
|
|
|
They praise me to my face
|
|
|
|
but curse me in their hearts. Interlude
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
|
|
|
|
for my hope is in him.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. He alone is my rock and my salvation,
|
|
|
|
my fortress where I will not be shaken.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. My victory and honor come from God alone.
|
|
|
|
He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. O my people, trust in him at all times.
|
|
|
|
Pour out your heart to him,
|
|
|
|
for God is our refuge. Interlude
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind,
|
|
|
|
and the powerful are not what they appear to be.
|
|
|
|
If you weigh them on the scales,
|
|
|
|
together they are lighter than a breath of air.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. Don't make your living by extortion
|
|
|
|
or put your hope in stealing.
|
|
|
|
And if your wealth increases,
|
|
|
|
don't make it the center of your life.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. God has spoken plainly,
|
|
|
|
and I have heard it many times:
|
|
Power, O God, belongs to you;
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. unfailing love, O Lord, is yours.
|
|
|
|
Surely you repay all people
|
|
|
|
according to what they have done.
