Psalms 62
The psalmist affirms his trust in God as his salvation, supporter, and helper, and expresses confidence that God will not let him be moved or expelled. He laments the deceitful and violent nature of humanity, warning against trusting in iniquity or riches. The psalmist emphasizes that power belongs to God and that He will repay each person according to their works. Ultimately, the psalmist encourages all people to trust in God and pour out their hearts to Him.
1Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Will my soul not be subject to God? For from him is my salvation2Yes, he himself is my God and my salvation. He is my supporter; I will be moved no more3How is it that you rush against a man? Every one of you puts to death, as if you were pulling down a ruined wall, leaning over and falling apart4So, truly, they intended to reject my price. I ran in thirst. They blessed with their mouth and cursed with their heart5Yet, truly, my soul will be subject to God. For from him is my patience6For he is my God and my Savior. He is my helper; I will not be expelled7In God is my salvation and my glory. He is the God of my help, and my hope is in God8All peoples gathered together: trust in him. Pour out your hearts in his sight. God is our helper for eternity9So, truly, the sons of men are untrustworthy. The sons of men are liars in the scales, so that, by emptiness, they may deceive among themselves10Do not trust in iniquity, and do not desire plunder. If riches flow toward you, do not be willing to set your heart on them11God has spoken once. I have heard two things: that power belongs to God12and that mercy belongs to you, O Lord. For you will repay each one according to his works
