Psalm 62

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

 ² He alone is my rock and my salvation;
       he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

 ³ How long will you assault a man?
       Would all of you throw him down—
       this leaning wall, this tottering fence?

 ⁴ They fully intend to topple him
       from his lofty place;
       they take delight in lies.
       With their mouths they bless,
       but in their hearts they curse.
       Selah

 ⁵ Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
       my hope comes from him.

 ⁶ He alone is my rock and my salvation;
       he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

 ⁷ My salvation and my honor depend on God ^[a] ;
       he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

 ⁸ Trust in him at all times, O people;
       pour out your hearts to him,
       for God is our refuge.
       Selah

 ⁹ Lowborn men are but a breath,
       the highborn are but a lie;
       if weighed on a balance, they are nothing;
       together they are only a breath.

 ¹⁰ Do not trust in extortion
       or take pride in stolen goods;
       though your riches increase,
       do not set your heart on them.

 ¹¹ One thing God has spoken,
       two things have I heard:
       that you, O God, are strong,

 ¹² and that you, O Lord, are loving.
       Surely you will reward each person
       according to what he has done.
