62
For the chief musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
1 I wait in silence for God alone;
my salvation comes from him.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
3 How long, all of you, will you attack a man,
that you may tip him over
like a leaning wall or a shaky fence?
4 They consult with him only to bring him down from his honorable position;
they love to tell lies;
they bless him with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse him.
Selah
5 I wait in silence for God alone;
for my hope is set on him.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my high tower; I will not be moved.
7 With God is my salvation and my glory;
the rock of my strength and my refuge are in God.
8 Trust in him at all times, you people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us.
Selah
9 Surely men of low standing are vanity, and men of high standing are a lie;
they will weigh lightly in the scales;
weighed together, they are lighter than nothing.
10 Do not trust in oppression or robbery;
and do not hope uselessly in riches,
for they will bear no fruit; do not fix your heart on them.
11 God has spoken once,
twice have I heard this:
power belongs to God.
12 Also to you, Lord, belongs covenant faithfulness,
for you pay back every person for what he has done.
