Psalm 62
Nonne Deo?
1
For God alone my soul in silence waits; *
from him comes my salvation.
2
He truly is my strength and my salvation; *
he is my defense, so that I shall not be greatly shaken.
3
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?
4
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.
5
Nevertheless, for God alone my soul in silence waits, *
for my hope is in him.
6
He truly is my strength and my salvation; *
he is my defense, so that I shall not fall.
7
In God is my help and my glory; *
he is the rock of my might, and in him is my trust.
8
O put your trust in him always, you people; *
pour out your hearts before him, for God is our hope.
9
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.
10
O trust not in oppression; put not vain hopes in robbery; *
if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11
One thing has God spoken; indeed, two things have I heard him say: *
that power belongs to our God;
12
And that you, O Lord, are merciful, *
for you reward everyone according to his work.
