New King James Version

Psalms 62 New King James Version (NKJV)

A Calm Resolve to Wait for the Salvation of God

To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1. Truly my soul silently waits for God;From Him comes my salvation.

2. He only is my rock and my salvation;He is my defense;I shall not be greatly moved.

3. How long will you attack a man?You shall be slain, all of you,Like a leaning wall and a tottering fence.

4. They only consult to cast him down from his high position;They delight in lies;They bless with their mouth,But they curse inwardly.Selah

5. My soul, wait silently for God alone,For my expectation is from Him.

6. He only is my rock and my salvation;He is my defense;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, you people;Pour out your heart before Him;God is a refuge for us.Selah

9. Surely men of low degree are a vapor,Men of high degree are a lie;If they are weighed on the scales,They are altogether lighter than vapor.

10. Do not trust in oppression,Nor vainly hope in robbery;If riches increase,Do not set your heart on them.

11. God has spoken once,Twice I have heard this:That power belongs to God.

12. Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy;For You render to each one according to his work.
