Psalms 62
World English Bible (WEB)
1 Ref > My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.
2 Ref He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress-- I will never be greatly shaken.
3 Ref How long will you assault a man, Would all of you throw him down, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
4 Ref They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5 Ref My soul, wait in silence for God alone, For my expectation is from him.
6 Ref He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.
7 Ref With God is my salvation and my honor. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 Ref Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9 Ref Surely men of low degree are just a breath, And men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.
10 Ref Don't trust in oppression. Don't become vain in robbery. If riches increase, Don't set your heart on them.
11 Ref God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this, That power belongs to God.
12 Ref Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, For you reward every man according to his work.
King James Version (KJV)
1 Ref Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
2 Ref He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3 Ref How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4 Ref They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5 Ref My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6 Ref He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7 Ref In 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: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10 Ref Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11 Ref God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
12 Ref Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
