Psalms 62
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
1 Ref My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From him `cometh' my salvation.
2 Ref He only is my rock and my salvation: `He is' my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.
3 Ref How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay `him', all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
4 Ref They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah
5 Ref My soul, wait thou in silence for God only; For my expectation is from him.
6 Ref He only is my rock and my salvation: `He is' my high tower; I shall not be moved.
7 Ref With God is my salvation and my glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 Ref Trust in him at all times, ye people; Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah
9 Ref Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.
10 Ref Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart `thereon'.
11 Ref God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God.
12 Ref Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness; For thou renderest to every man according to his work. Psalm 63 A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

1 Ref <To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. A Psalm. Of David.> My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my salvation.
2 Ref He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
3 Ref How long will you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?
4 Ref Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (Selah.)
5 Ref My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my hope.
6 Ref He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
7 Ref In God is my salvation, and my glory; the Rock of my strength, and my safe place.
8 Ref Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah.)
9 Ref Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath.
10 Ref Have no faith in the rewards of evil-doing, or in profits wrongly made: if your wealth is increased, do not put your hopes on it.
11 Ref Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's:
12 Ref And mercy, O Lord, is yours, for you give to every man the reward of his work.
