Psalm 62

New Coverdale Version

For God alone my soul in silence waits; * from him comes my salvation.

He truly is my strength and my salvation; * he is my defense, so that I shall not be greatly shaken.

How long will you assail a man to crush him, all of you together, * as if you were a tottering wall or a broken fence?

Their plan is only to bring down the one whom God has exalted; * their delight is in lies; they bless with their mouth, but curse with their heart.

Nevertheless, for God alone my soul in silence waits, * for my hope is in him.

He truly is my strength and my salvation; * he is my defense, so that I shall not fall.

In God is my help and my glory; * he is the rock of my might, and in him is my trust.

O put your trust in him always, you people; * pour out your hearts before him, for God is our hope.

As for the children of men, they are but a breath; * the children of men are deceitful; upon the scales, they are altogether lighter than a breath.

O trust not in oppression; put not vain hopes in robbery; * if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

One thing has God spoken; indeed, two things have I heard him say: * that power belongs to our God;

And that you, O Lord, are merciful, * for you reward everyone according to his work.
