Psalm 62:1-12
(Of the Director over Jeduthun; a psalm of David’s.)
62 My soul is attentive just to God;from him my salvation comes.
2 He, just he, is my rock and my salvation,my fastness; I shall not be greatly stirred.
3 How long will you be bullying a man, murdering?all of you are like a wall out of plumb, a fence knocked in.
4 They are just planning to knock off from his dignity;they take satisfaction in lying;With their mouths they blessand inwardly they are cursing. (Selah)
5 Be attentive just to God, my soul,because from him my hope comes.
6 He, just he, is my rock and my salvation,my fastness; I shall not be stirred.
7 On God rest my salvation and my glory;my citadel rock, my refuge, is in God.
8 Trust to him every time, people,pour out your hearts before him;God is a refuge for us. (Selah)
9 Human beings are just air, sons of man a lie;they are quicker to fly up in the balance together than a whiff of air.
10 Do not rely on sponging nor build air-castles on stolen goods; when wealth is fruitful do not be impressed.
11 One thing God has spoken,two that I have heard,
12 That strength is God’s, and yours, Lord, is friendship;that you will repay each man in accordance with his deeds.
