Psalms 62 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

Confidence in God’s Salvation

1. Only for God my soul waits in silence. From him is my salvation.

2. Only he is my rock and my salvation, my high stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

3. How long will you attack a man? All of you will be shattered like a leaning wall, a tottering fence.

4. They only plan to thrust him down from his high position; they are pleased with deception. With their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. Selah

5. Only for God wait in silence, O my soul, because my hope is from him.

6. Only he is my rock and my salvation, my high stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

7. On God rests my salvation and my glory; God is my strong rock, my refuge.

8. Trust him at all times, O people; pour out before him your heart. God is a refuge for us. Selah

9. Only a vapor are men of low degree, a deception are men of high degree. Weighed in a balance, together they are lighter than a vapor.

10. Do not trust in extortion, and do not put vain confidence in robbery. If wealth increases, do not set your heart on it.

11. Once God has spoken; twice I have heard this: that strength belongs to God.

12. And to you belongs loyal love, O Lord, because you will render to each according to his work.
