Psalms 62
62
Unshakable Faith
To the Pure and Shining One
By David, for the one who praises # 62 The inscription includes the name Jeduthun, which means “one who praises.”
1I stand silently to listen for the one I love,
waiting as long as it takes for the Lord to rescue me.
For God alone has become my Savior.
2He alone is my safe place;
his wraparound presence always protects me.
For he is my champion defender;
there’s no risk of failure with God.
So why would I let worry paralyze me,
even when troubles multiply around me?
3But look at these who want me dead,
shouting their vicious threats at me!
The moment they discover my weakness,
they all begin plotting to take me down.
4Liars, hypocrites, with nothing good to say—
all their energies are spent
on moving me from this exalted place.
Pause in his presence
5I am standing in absolute stillness, silent before the one I love,
waiting as long as it takes for him to rescue me.
Only God is my Savior, and he will not fail me.
6For he alone is my safe place.
His wraparound presence always protects me
as my champion defender.
There’s no risk of failure with God!
So why would I let worry paralyze me,
even when troubles multiply around me?
7God’s glory is all around me!
His wraparound presence is all I need,
for the Lord is my Savior, my hero, and my life-giving strength.
8Trust only in God every moment!
Tell him all your troubles and pour out your heart-longings to him.
Believe me when I tell you—he will help you!
Pause in his presence
9Before God all the people of the earth, high or low,
are like smoke that disappears,
like a vapor that quickly vanishes away.
Compared to God they’re nothing but vanity, nothing at all!
10The wealth of the world is nothing to God.
So if your wealth increases, don’t be boastful or
put your trust in your money.
And don’t you think for a moment that
you can get away with stealing by overcharging others
just to get more for yourself!
11God said to me once and for all,
“All the strength and power you need flows from me!”
And again I heard it clearly said,
12“All the love you need is found in me!”
And it’s true that you repay people for what they do.

Trust in God Alone
For the choir director: according to Jeduthun. # Ps 39 title A Davidic psalm.
1I am at rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from Him. # Ps 33:20; 37:39
2He alone is my rock and my salvation, # Dt 32:15; 2Sm 22:47
my stronghold; I will never be shaken. # Ps 37:24; 55:22
3How long will you threaten a man?
Will all of you attack # Some Hb mss read you be struck down
as if he were a leaning wall
or a tottering stone fence? # Is 30:13
4They only plan to bring him down
from his high position.
They take pleasure in lying;
they bless with their mouths,
but they curse inwardly. # Ps 4:2; 55:21Selah
5Rest in God alone, my soul,
for my hope comes from Him. # Ps 71:5
6He alone is my rock and my salvation, # Ps 89:26; 95:1
my stronghold; I will not be shaken. # Ps 16:8; 21:7
7My salvation and glory depend on God, my strong rock.
My refuge is in God. # Ps 18:2
8Trust in Him at all times, you people;
pour out your hearts before Him.
God is our refuge. # Ps 91:2; 118:8-9Selah
9Men are only a vapor;
exalted men, an illusion.
Weighed in the scales, they go up;
together they are less than a vapor. # Ps 39:5-6,11; Is 40:17
10Place no trust in oppression,
or false hope in robbery.
If wealth increases,
pay no attention to it. # Lit increases, do not set heart # Jb 31:24-25; Mk 4:19; 1Tm 6:10,17-19
11God has spoken once;
I have heard this twice:
strength belongs to God, # Jb 40:5
12and faithful love belongs to You, Lord.
For You repay each according to his works. # Mt 16:27; Rm 2:6; Rv 22:12
