Psalm 62

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.

1 Only in God do I find rest; my salvation comes from him.

2 Only God is my rock and my salvation— my stronghold!—I won't be shaken anymore.

3 How long will all of you attack others; how long will you tear them down as if they were leaning walls or broken-down fences?

4 The only desire of this people is to bring others down low; they delight in deception. With their mouths they bless, but inside they are cursing. Selah

5 Oh, I must find rest in God only, because my hope comes from him!

6 Only God is my rock and my salvation— my stronghold!—I will not be shaken.

7 My deliverance and glory depend on God. God is my strong rock. My refuge is in God.

8 All you people: Trust in him at all times! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our refuge! Selah

9 Human beings are nothing but a breath. Human beings are nothing but lies. They don't even register on a scale; taken all together they are lighter than a breath!

10 Don't trust in violence; don't set false hopes in robbery. When wealth bears fruit, don't set your heart on it.

11 God has spoken one thing— make it two things— that I myself have heard: that strength belongs to God,

12 and faithful love comes from you, my Lord— and that you will repay everyone according to their deeds.
