Psalms 62
The psalmist expresses trust in God as his sole source of salvation, rock, and defense, and urges his soul to wait on God alone. He warns against plotting evil and trusting in wealth or power, instead advising to trust in God at all times and pour out one's heart before Him. The psalmist concludes that God is the one who possesses power and mercy, and He rewards each person according to their deeds.
Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.How 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.They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.Surely 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.Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
