Psalm 62
Vers 1
In God alone my soul finds rest,
for in his faithfulness I trust;
from him alone comes my salvation.
He is the rock that will not quake,
and none can this my stronghold shake
or move me from its firm foundation.
Vers 2
Say, how much longer will you dare
attack a man as though he were
a broken fence, about to totter?
You love deceit and plan his fall;
though with your mouth you wish him well,
you in your heart your curses mutter.
Vers 3
Find rest, my soul, in God alone
Him only I depend upon
for all my hope and my salvation.
He is the rock that will not quake,
and none can this my stronghold shake
or move me from its firm foundation.
Vers 4
On God rests my deliverance,
and he my honour will advance;
he is my mighty rock, my shelter.
O people, trust in God alone;
to him make all your troubles known.
With his support you will not falter.
Vers 5
Mere breath are those of low estate,
and a delusion are the great.
They rise when in the scales you weigh them.
Together they are but a breath –
mere mortals, prey to doom and death.
Their sudden downfall will dismay them.
Vers 6
Put no false hope and confidence
in robbery and violence;
do not take pride in theft and plunder.
Although your riches may increase,
they will not give you rest and peace.
Why set your heart on earthly splendour?
Vers 7
God once has spoken, I have heard
the two-fold never-failing word
that you, God, are my strong defender,
that steadfast love is yours, O LORD,
for all receive their just reward
when on their deeds you judgment render.
