Psalms 62
62
For Jeduthun, the music director. A psalm of David.
1Only in God do I find peace; my salvation comes from him.
2He is the one who protects me and saves me; he keeps me safe so I will never be in danger.
3How long are you#62:3. The psalmist now addresses his enemies. going to attack me? All of you against one man! To you I'm just a broken wall, a collapsed fence.
4They plan to throw me down from my high position; they love to tell lies. They say nice things to me, but inside they're cursing me. Selah.
5Only in God do I find peace; my hope comes from him.
6He is the one who protects me and saves me; he keeps me safe so I will not be in danger.
7My salvation and my success#62:7. Literally, “glory.” come from God alone; God is my security and my protection.
8My people, always trust in him. Pour out all your thoughts to him, for he is the one who looks after us. Selah.
9Ordinary people are mere breaths, while leaders are just fakes. Put them all together and weigh them on scales and they wouldn't weigh more than air!
10Don't trust in money made by extortion or robbery. Don't be proud of your wealth even if you are successful—don't make money what you live for.
11God has already made it clear—I have heard it many times—power belongs to you, God.
12You show us trustworthy love. You give back to people in return for what they've done.
