Psalm 62

Christian Standard Bible

³ How long will you threaten a man?
Will all of you attack^[a]
as if he were a leaning wall
or a tottering fence?^(E)
4 They only plan to bring him down
from his high position.
They take pleasure in lying;
they bless with their mouths,
but they curse inwardly.^(F)Selah

⁵ Rest in God alone, my soul,
for my hope comes from him.^(G)
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation,^(H)
my stronghold; I will not be shaken.^(I)
7 My salvation and glory depend on God, my strong rock.
My refuge is in God.^(J)
8 Trust in him at all times, you people;
pour out your hearts before him.
God is our refuge.^(K)Selah

⁹ Common people are only a vapor;
important people, an illusion.
Together on a scale,
they weigh less than^[b] a vapor.^(L)
10 Place no trust in oppression
or false hope in robbery.^(M)
If wealth increases,
don’t set your heart on it.^(N)

¹¹ God has spoken once;
I have heard this twice:
strength belongs to God,^(O)
12 and faithful love belongs to you, Lord.
For you repay each according to his works.^(P)
