<<  PSALM LXII. >>

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun.
A Psalm of David.

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