Psalm 62[a] For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

1 Truly my soul finds rest in God;     my salvation comes from him. 2 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;     he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

3 How long will you assault me?     Would all of you throw me down—     this leaning wall, this tottering fence? 4 Surely they intend to topple me     from my lofty place;     they take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless,     but in their hearts they curse.[b]

5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God;     my hope comes from him. 6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;     he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. 7 My salvation and my honor depend on God[c];     he is my mighty rock, my refuge. 8 Trust in him at all times, you people;     pour out your hearts to him,     for God is our refuge.

9 Surely the lowborn 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 put vain hope in stolen goods; though your riches increase,     do not set your heart on them.

11 One thing God has spoken,     two things I have heard: “Power belongs to you, God, 12     and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”; and, “You reward everyone     according to what they have done.”
