Psalms 62
The psalmist finds rest and salvation in God alone, who is his rock and fortress. He warns against trusting in earthly things, such as wealth and power, which are fleeting and worthless. Instead, he encourages people to trust in God at all times and pour out their hearts to him, for he is their refuge. God will reward each person according to their actions, and he is both strong and loving.
1My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him.2He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.3How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down- this leaning wall, this tottering fence?4They fully intend to topple him from his lofty place; they take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse. Selah5Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.6He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.7My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.8Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Selah9Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath.10Do not trust in extortion or take pride in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.11One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong,12and that you, O Lord, are loving. Surely you will reward each person according to what he has done.
