Psalms 62:3-12 ▼

3 Until when will you⁺ plot against a man? You⁺ are destroyed, all of you⁺, like a wall leaning, a fence being pushed down.

4 Surely from his high position they take counsel to thrust him down; they delight in lies—with their mouth they bless, and within them they curse. Selah

5 Only for God be silent, O my soul, for from Him is my hope.

6 Only He is my Rock and my salvation, my secure height; I will not be shaken.

7 In God is my salvation and my glory, the Rock of my strength; my refuge is in God.

8 Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your⁺ heart before Him; God is is a refuge for us. Selah

9 Only a vapor are the sons of a man, a lie the sons of a man—in the scales they go up as a vapor together.

10 You should⁺ not trust in oppression, and do not be vain in robbery; on wealth when it increases you⁺ should not set the heart.

11 Once God has spoken; twice I have heard this, that strength is unto God,

12 and unto You, O Lord, is loving devotion. For You do recompense to each man according to his work.
