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.

God the Only Refuge
To the chief Musician, to Jedu´thun, A Psalm of David.
1Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
2He only is my rock and my salvation;
he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.
3How 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.
4They only consult to cast him down from his excellency:
they delight in lies:
they bless with their mouth,
but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5My soul, wait thou only upon God;
for my expectation is from him.
6He only is my rock and my salvation:
he is my defense; I shall not be moved.
7In God is my salvation and my glory:
the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8Trust in him at all times;
ye people, pour out your heart before him:
God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9Surely 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.
10Trust not in oppression,
and become not vain in robbery:
if riches increase,
set not your heart upon them.
11God hath spoken once;
twice have I heard this;
that power belongeth unto God.
12 #
Job 34.11; Jer 17.10; Matt 16.27; Rom 2.6; Rev 2.23. Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy:
for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
