62:1 For the leader. Set in the style of Y’dutun. A psalm of David:
62:2 My soul waits in silence for God alone; my salvation comes from him.
62:3 He alone is my rock and salvation, my stronghold; I won’t be greatly moved.
62:4 How long will you assail a person in order to murder him, all of you, as if he were a sagging wall or a shaky fence?
62:5 They only want to shake him from his height, they take delight in lying — with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. (Selah)
62:6 My soul, wait in silence for God alone, because my hope comes from him.
62:7 He alone is my rock and salvation, my stronghold; I won’t be moved.
62:8 My safety and honor rest on God. My strong rock and refuge are in God.
62:9 Trust in him, people, at all times; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. (Selah)
62:10 Ordinary folks are merely a breath and important people a sham; if you lay them on a balance-scale, they go up — both together are lighter than nothing.
62:11 Don’t put your trust in extortion, don’t put false hopes in robbery; even if wealth increases, don’t set your heart on it.
62:12 God has spoken once, I have heard it twice: strength belongs to God.
