Psalms

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 bless

and 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.

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.
