Psalms 62

God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.

1 1My soulH5315 waits in silenceH1747 for GodH430 onlyH389; From Him 2is my salvationH3444.2He onlyH389 is my 3rockH6697 and my salvationH3444, My 4strongholdH4869; I shall not be greatlyH7227 shakenH4131.

3HowH575 longH5704 will you assailH1956 a manH376, That you may murderH7523 him, allH3605 of you, Like a 5leaningH5186 wallH1447, like a totteringH1760 fenceH1447?4They have counseledH3289 onlyH389 to thrustH5080 him downH5080 from his highH7613 positionH7613; They 6delightH7521 in falsehoodH3577; They 7blessH1288 with 8their mouthH6310, But inwardlyH7130 they curseH7043. 9SelahH5542.

5My soulH5315, 10waitH1826 in silenceH1826 for GodH430 onlyH389, For my hopeH8615 is from Him.6He onlyH389 is 11my rockH6697 and my salvationH3444, My strongholdH4869; I shall not be shakenH4131.7On GodH430 my 12salvationH3468 and my gloryH3519 rest; The rockH6697 of my strengthH5797, my 13refugeH4268 is in GodH430.8 14TrustH982 in Him at allH3605 timesH6256, O peopleH5971; 15PourH8210 out your heartH3824 beforeH6440 Him; GodH430 is a refugeH4268 for us. SelahH5542.

9MenH1121 H120 of 16lowH1121 H120 degreeH1121 H120 are onlyH389 17vanityH1892 and menH1121 H376 of rankH376 are a 18lieH3577; In the 19balancesH3976 they goH5927 up; They are togetherH3162 lighter thanH4480 breathH1892.10 20Do not trustH982 in oppressionH6233 And do not 21vainlyH1891 hopeH1891 in 22robberyH1498; IfH3588 richesH2428 increaseH5107, 23do not setH7896 your heartH3820 upon them.

11 24OnceH259 GodH430 has 25spokenH1696; 26TwiceH8147 I have heardH8085 thisH2098: That 27powerH5797 belongs to GodH430;12And lovingkindnessH2617 28is Yours, O LordH136, For You 29recompenseH7999 a manH376 according to his workH4639.
