Psalm 62 - Rest In God Alone (Sunday January 5, 2025)

Psalm 62

For the music director; according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1My soul waits in silence for God alone;

From Him comes my salvation.

2He alone is my rock and my salvation,

My stronghold; I will not be greatly shaken.

3 How long will you attack a man,

That you may murder him, all of you,

Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4They have planned only to thrust him down from his high position;

They delight in falsehood;

They bless with their mouth,

But inwardly they curse.

Selah

5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone,

For my hope is from Him.

6He alone is my rock and my salvation,

My refuge; I will not be shaken.

7My salvation and my glory rest on God;

The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

8Trust in Him at all times, you people;

Pour out your hearts before Him;

God is a refuge for us.

Selah

9 People of low standing are only breath, and people of rank are a lie;

In the balances they go up.

Together they are lighter than breath.

10Do not trust in oppression,

And do not vainly rely on robbery;

If wealth increases, do not set your heart on it.

11 God has spoken once;

Twice I have heard this:

That power belongs to God;

12And faithfulness is Yours, Lord,

For You reward a person according to his work.
