Psalm 62
Nonne Deo?
1
For God alone my soul in silence waits;
from him comes my salvation.
2
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my stronghold, so that I shall not be greatly shaken.
3
How long will you assail me to crush me, all of you together,
as if you were a leaning fence, a toppling wall?
4
They seek only to bring me down from my place of honor;
lies are their chief delight.
5
They bless with their lips,
but in their hearts they curse.
6
For God alone my soul in silence waits;
truly, my hope is in him.
7
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my stronghold, so that I shall not be shaken.
8
In God is my safety and my honor;
God is my strong rock and my refuge.
9
Put your trust in him always, O people,
pour out your hearts before him, for God is our refuge.
10
Those of high degree are but a fleeting breath,
even those of low estate cannot be trusted.
11
On the scales they are lighter than a breath,
all of them together.
12
Put no trust in extortion; in robbery take no empty pride;
though wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.
13
God has spoken once, twice have I heard it,
that power belongs to God.
14
Steadfast love is yours, O Lord,
for you repay everyone according to his deeds.
