Psalm 62: The Word of the Lord for a Time Such as This

My soul finds rest in God alone;

my salvation comes from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

How long will you assault a man?

Would all of you throw him down—

this leaning wall, this tottering fence?

They fully intend to topple him

from his lofty place;

They take delight in lies.

With their mouths they bless,

but in their hearts they curse.

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;

my hope comes from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I will not be shaken;

My salvation and my honor

depend on God;

He is my mighty rock, my refuge.

Trust in him at all times,

O people;

pour out your hearts to him,

For God is our refuge.

Lowborn men are but a breath,

the highborn are but a lie;

If weighed on a balance,

they are nothing;

together they are only a breath.

Do not trust in extortion

or take pride in stolen goods;

Though your riches increase,

do not set your heart on them.

One thing God has spoken,

two things have I heard:

that you, O God, are strong,

and that you, O Lord, are loving.

Surely you will reward each person

According to what he has done.
