Psalm
Chapters 62
Amplified Bible
To the Chief Musician; according to Jeduthun +[Ethan, the noted musician, founder of an official musical family+]. A Psalm of David.
1FOR GOD alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation. 2He only is my Rock and my Salvation, my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be greatly moved. 3How long will you set upon a man that you may slay him, all of you, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? 4They only consult to cast him down from his height [to dishonor him]; they delight in lies. They bless with their mouths, but they curse inwardly. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! 5My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him. 6He only is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be moved. 7With God rests my salvation and my glory; He is my Rock of unyielding strength and impenetrable hardness, and my refuge is in God! 8Trust in, lean on, rely on, and have confidence in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is a refuge for us (a fortress and a high tower). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! 9Men of low degree [in the social scale] are emptiness (futility, a breath) and men of high degree [in the same scale] are a lie and a delusion. In the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath. 10Trust not in and rely confidently not on extortion and oppression, and do not vainly hope in robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them. 11God has spoken once, twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God. 12Also to You, O Lord, belong mercy and loving-kindness, for You render to every man according to his work. [Jer. 17:10; Rev. 22:12.]Chapters
