Salmos 62

God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.

For the music director; #62:0 Cf. 1 Chr 16:41; 25:1; Ps 39 and 77 titlesaccording to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1 My soul waits in silence for God alone;

From Him comes my salvation.

2 He alone is my rock and my salvation,

My stronghold; I will not be greatly shaken.

3 How long will you attack a man,

That you may murder him, all of you,

Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 They have planned only to thrust him down from his high position;

They delight in falsehood;

They bless with *62:4 Lit histheir mouth,

But inwardly they curse. Selah

5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone,

For my hope is from Him.

6 He alone is my rock and my salvation,

My refuge; I will not be shaken.

7 My salvation and my glory rest on God;

The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

8 Trust in Him at all times, you people;

Pour out your hearts before Him;

God is a refuge for us. Selah

9 People of low standing are only breath, and people of rank are a lie;

In the balances they go up.

Together they are lighter than breath.

10 Do not trust in oppression,

And do not vainly rely on robbery;

If wealth increases, do not set your heart on it.

11 God has spoken *62:11 Or one thingonce;

* 62:11 Or These two things I have heard Twice I have heard this:

That power belongs to God;

12 And faithfulness is Yours, Lord,

For You reward a person according to his work.
