Psalm 62

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!

New Living Translation NLT

1 I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him.

2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.

3 So many enemies against one man— all of them trying to kill me. To them I’m just a broken-down wall or a tottering fence.

4 They plan to topple me from my high position. They delight in telling lies about me. They praise me to my face but curse me in their hearts. Interlude

5 Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.

6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.

7 My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.

8 O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge. Interlude

9 Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind, and the powerful are not what they appear to be. If you weigh them on the scales, together they are lighter than a breath of air.

10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the center of your life.

11 God has spoken plainly, and I have heard it many times: Power, O God, belongs to you;

12 unfailing love, O Lord, is yours. Surely you repay all people according to what they have done.
