Psalm 62

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. Set in the style of Y'dutun. A psalm of David: My soul waits in silence for God alone; my salvation comes from him.

2 He alone is my rock and salvation, my stronghold; I won't be greatly moved.

3 How long will you assail a person in order to murder him, all of you, as if he were a sagging wall or a shaky fence?

4 They only want to shake him from his height, they take delight in lying with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. (Selah)

5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone, because my hope comes from him.

6 He alone is my rock and salvation, my stronghold; I won't be moved.

7 My safety and honor rest on God. My strong rock and refuge are in God.

8 Trust in him, people, at all times; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

9 Ordinary folks are merely a breath and important people a sham; if you lay them on a balance-scale, they go up both together are lighter than nothing.

10 Don't put your trust in extortion, don't put false hopes in robbery; even if wealth increases, don't set your heart on it.

11 God has spoken once, I have heard it twice: strength belongs to God.

12 Also to you, Adonai, belongs grace; for you reward all as their deeds deserve.

The Message Bible MSG

1 God, the one and only - I'll wait as long as he says. Everything I need comes from him, so why not?

2 He's solid rock under my feet, breathing room for my soul, An impregnable castle: I'm set for life.

3 How long will you gang up on me? How long will you run with the bullies? There's nothing to you, any of you - rotten floorboards, worm-eaten rafters,

4 Anthills plotting to bring down mountains, far gone in make-believe. You talk a good line, but every "blessing" breathes a curse.

5 God, the one and only - I'll wait as long as he says. Everything I hope for comes from him, so why not?

6 He's solid rock under my feet, breathing room for my soul, An impregnable castle: I'm set for life.

7 My help and glory are in God

8 So trust him absolutely, people; lay your lives on the line for him. God is a safe place to be.

9 Man as such is smoke, woman as such, a mirage. Put them together, they're nothing; two times nothing is nothing.

10 And a windfall, if it comes - don't make too much of it.

11 God said this once and for all; how many times Have I heard it repeated? "Strength comes Straight from God."

12 Love to you, Lord God! You pay a fair wage for a good day's work!
