PSALM 62
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun,
A Psalm of David.
1My soul with expectation
depends on God indeed;
My strength and my salvation doth
from him alone proceed.
2He only my salvation is,
and my strong rock is he:
He only is my sure defence;
much mov'd I shall not be.
3How long will ye against a man
plot mischief? ye shall all
Be slain; ye as a tott'ring fence shall be,
and bowing wall.
4They only plot to cast him down
from his excellency:
They joy in lies; with mouth they bless,
but they curse inwardly.
5My soul, wait thou with patience
upon thy God alone;
On him dependeth all my hope
and expectation.
6He only my salvation is,
and my strong rock is he;
He only is my sure defence:
I shall not moved be.
7In God my glory placed is,
and my salvation sure;
In God the rock is of my strength,
my refuge most secure.
8Ye people, place your confidence
in him continually;
Before him pour ye out your heart:
God is our refuge high.
9Surely mean men are vanity,
and great men are a lie;
In balance laid, they wholly are
more light than vanity.
10Trust ye not in oppression,
in robb'ry be not vain;
On wealth set not your hearts, when as
increased is your gain.
11God hath it spoken once to me,
yea, this I heard again,
That power to Almighty God
alone doth appertain.
12Yea, mercy also unto thee
belongs, O Lord, alone:
For thou according to his work
rewardest ev'ry one.

Waiting on God
For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1In God alone my soul finds rest;
my salvation comes from Him.
2He alone is my rock and my salvation.
He is my fortress;
I will never be shaken.
3How long will you threaten a man?
Will all of you throw him down
like a leaning wall
or a tottering fence?
4They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch;
they delight in lies;
with their mouths they bless,
but inwardly they curse.
Selah
5Rest in God alone, O my soul,
for my hope comes from Him.
6He alone is my rock and my salvation;
He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.
7My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock;
my refuge is in God.
8Trust in Him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts before Him.
God is our refuge.
Selah
9Lowborn men are but a vapor,
the exalted but a lie.
Weighed on the scale, they go up;
together they are but a vapor.
10Place no trust in extortion,
or false hope in stolen goods.
If your riches increase,
do not set your heart upon them.
11God has spoken once;
I have heard this twice:
that power belongs to God,
12and loving devotion to You, O Lord.
For You will repay each man
according to his deeds.#62:12 Cited in Romans 2:6
