62:1 For the choir director. According to Jeduthun. A psalm by David. My soul rests quietly in God alone. My salvation is from him.
62:2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be disturbed.
62:3 How long will you threaten a man? Do all of you want to murder him, like a leaning wall, like a fence to be pushed down?
62:4 Yes, they plan to push him down from his lofty place. They are delighted with deceit. With their mouths they bless, but inside they curse. Interlude
62:5 My soul, rest quietly in God alone, for my hope comes from him.
62:6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be disturbed.
62:7 My salvation and my honor depend on God, my strong rock. My refuge is in God.
62:8 Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your hearts before him. Interlude God is a refuge for us.
62:9 Yes, the sons of Adam are only a breath. The sons of man are a delusion. On a scale they weigh nothing. They are nothing but air.
62:10 Do not trust in extortion. Do not put empty confidence in stolen goods. If your wealth grows, do not set your heart on it.
62:11 One thing God has spoken, two things that I have heard: that God has strength
62:12 and that you, Lord, have mercy. Surely you will repay each person according to what he has done.
