Psalms, Chapter 62

1. To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. A Psalm. Of David. My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my salvation.    2. He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.    3. How long will you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?    4. Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (Selah.)    5. My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my hope.    6. He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.    7. In God is my salvation, and my glory; the Rock of my strength, and my safe place.    8. Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah.)    9. Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath.    10. Have no faith in the rewards of evil-doing, or in profits wrongly made: if your wealth is increased, do not put your hopes on it.    11. Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's:    12. And mercy, O Lord, is yours, for you give to every man the reward of his work.
