Psalm 62

God the Only Refuge

621 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.

Psalm 62

God the Only Refuge

621 My soul rests in God alone.
My salvation is from him. 2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress—
I will never be greatly shaken. 3 How long will you assault a man,
would all of you throw him down,
Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? 4 They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place.
They delight in lies.
They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. 5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone,
for my expectation is from him. 6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.
I will not be shaken. 7 With God is my salvation and my honor.
The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8 Trust in him at all times, you people.
Pour out your heart before him.
God is a refuge for us. Selah. 9 Surely men of low degree are just a breath,
and men of high degree are a lie.
In the balances they will go up.
They are together lighter than a breath. 10 Don’t trust in oppression.
Don’t become vain in robbery.
If riches increase,
don’t set your heart on them. 11 God has spoken once;
twice I have heard this,
that power belongs to God. 12 Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness,
for you reward every man according to his work.

Psalm 62

God the Only Refuge

621 To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation. 2 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved. 3 How long will ye assail a man; will ye [seek], all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence? 4 They only consult to thrust [him] down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah. 5 Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved. 7 With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

8 Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah. 9 Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together [lighter] than vanity. 10 Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it. 11 Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength [belongeth] unto God. 12 And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness; for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

Psalm 62

God the Only Refuge

621 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. 2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; [1] I shall not be greatly moved. 3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence. 4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. [2] Selah. 5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. 7 In 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: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether [3] lighter than vanity. 10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them. 11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power [4] belongeth unto God. 12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
