Hope in God Alone. Psalm 62(v61) | |||
1 | For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. | ||
2 | He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly moved. | ||
3 | How long will you set upon a man to shatter him, all of you, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence? | ||
4 | They only plan to thrust him down from his eminence. They take pleasure in falsehood. They bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. | ||
5 | For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him. | ||
6 | He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. | ||
7 | On God rests my deliverance and my honour; my mighty rock, my refuge is God. | ||
8 | Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. | ||
9 | Men of low estate are but a breath, men of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath. | ||
10 | Put no confidence in extortion, set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them. | ||
11 | Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God; | ||
12 | and that to you, O Yahweh, belongs steadfast love. For you requite a man according to his work. | ||
