Psalm 62

1 For the one directing. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. <span class=|reftext|><a href=|#|><b>1</b></a> Only toward God [is] my soul silent; from Him [is] my salvation.

2 Only He [is] my Rock and my salvation, My tower; not much will I be shaken.

3 Until when will you⁺ plot against a man? You⁺ are destroyed, all of you⁺, like a wall leaning, a fence being pushed down.

4 Surely from his high position they take counsel to thrust [him] down; they delight in lies—with their mouth they bless, and within them they curse. Selah

5 Only for God be silent, O my soul, for from Him [is] my hope.

6 Only He [is] my Rock and my salvation, my secure height; I will not be shaken.

7 In God [is] my salvation and my glory, the Rock of my strength; my refuge [is] in God.

8 Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your⁺ heart before Him; God [is] [is] a refuge for us. Selah

9 Only a vapor [are] the sons of a man, a lie the sons of a man—in the scales they go up as a vapor together.

10 You should⁺ not trust in oppression, and do not be vain in robbery; [on] wealth when it increases you⁺ should not set the heart.

11 Once God has spoken; twice I have heard this, that strength [is] unto God,

12 and unto You, O Lord, [is] loving devotion. For You do recompense to each man according to his work.
