Psalm 62

For God alone my soul in silence waits; from him comes my salvation.

He truly is my strength and my salvation; he is my defense, so that I shall not be greatly shaken.

How long will you assail a man to crush him, all of you together, as if you were a tottering wall or a broken fence?

Their plan is only to bring down the one whom God has exalted; their delight is in lies; they bless with their mouth, but curse with their heart.

Nevertheless, for God alone my soul in silence waits, for my hope is in him.

He truly is my strength and my salvation; he is my defense, so that I shall not fall.

In God is my help and my glory; he is the rock of my might, and in him is my trust.

O put your trust in him always, you people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our hope.

As for the children of men, they are but a breath; the children of men are deceitful; upon the scales, they are altogether lighter than a breath.

O trust not in oppression; put not vain hopes in robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

One thing has God spoken; indeed, two things have I heard him say: that power belongs to our God;

And that you, O Lord, are merciful, for you reward everyone according to his work.
