For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthan. A Psalm of David.
62:1My soul waiteth in silence for God only:
From him cometh my salvation.
62:2He only is my rock and my salvation:
He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.
62:3How long will ye set upon a man,
That ye may slay him, all of you,
Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
62:4They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity;
They delight in lies;
They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.
62:5My soul, wait thou in silence for God only;
For my expectation is from him.
62:6He only is my rock and my salvation:
He is my high tower; I shall not be moved.
62:7With God is my salvation and my glory:
The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
62:8Trust in him at all times, ye people;
Pour out your heart before him:
God is a refuge for us.
62:9Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie:
In the balances they will go up;
They are together lighter than vanity.
62:10Trust not in oppression,
And become not vain in robbery:
If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
62:11God hath spoken once,
Twice have I heard this,
That power belongeth unto God.
62:12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness;
