The Psalms 62

God the Only Refuge

To the chief Musician, to Jedu’thun, A Psalm of David.

Truly my soul waiteth upon God:

from him cometh my salvation.

He only is my rock and my salvation;

he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.

How long will ye imagine mischief against a man?

Ye shall be slain all of you:

as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

They only consult to cast him down from his excellency:

they delight in lies:

they bless with their mouth,

but they curse inwardly.

Selah.

My soul, wait thou only upon God;

for my expectation is from him.

He only is my rock and my salvation:

he is my defense; I shall not be moved.

In God is my salvation and my glory:

the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

Trust in him at all times;

ye people, pour out your heart before him:

God is a refuge for us.

Selah.

Surely men of low degree are vanity,

and men of high degree are a lie:

to be laid in the balance,

they are altogether lighter than vanity.

Trust not in oppression,

and become not vain in robbery:

if riches increase,

set not your heart upon them.

God hath spoken once;

twice have I heard this;

that power belongeth unto God.

Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy:

for thou renderest to every man according to his work. Job. 34.11 · Jer. 17.10 · Mt. 16.27 · Rom. 2.6 · Rev. 2.23
