Psalm 62

^62:1 For God alone I patiently wait; he is the one who delivers me. ^62:2 He alone is my protector and deliverer. He is my refuge; I will not be upended. ^62:3 How long will you threaten a man like me? All of you are murderers, as dangerous as a leaning wall or an unstable fence. ^62:4 They spend all their time planning how to bring their victim down. They love to use deceit; they pronounce blessings with their mouths, but inwardly they utter curses. (Selah) ^62:5 Patiently wait for God alone, my soul! For he is the one who gives me hope. ^62:6 He alone is my protector and deliverer. He is my refuge; I will not be shaken. ^62:7 God delivers me and exalts me; God is my strong protector and my shelter. ^62:8 Trust in him at all times, you people! Pour out your hearts before him. God is our shelter. (Selah) ^62:9 Men are nothing but a mere breath; human beings are unreliable. When they are weighed in the scales, all of them together are lighter than air. ^62:10 Do not trust in what you can gain by oppression. Do not put false confidence in what you can gain by robbery. If wealth increases, do not become attached to it. ^62:11 God has declared one principle; two principles I have heard: God is strong, ^62:12 and you, O Lord, demonstrate loyal love. For you repay men for what they do.
