PSALM 62

God is Our Deliverance

To the director; for Jeduthun; a psalm to David.

1 Shall not [³to ⁴God ²be submitted ¹my soul], [³is by ⁴him ¹for ²my deliverance]? 2 For even he is my God, and my deliverer, my shielder. In no way should I be shaken by many. 3 For how long do you put upon a man? [³slaughter ²all ¹You] as a wall leaning and a fence thrusting through. 4 But [³my honor ¹they consulted ²to thrust away]. I ran in thirst; with their mouth blessing, but in their heart they cursed. 5 But [²to ³God ¹be submitted], O my soul! for [²is by ³him ¹my endurance]. 6 For he is my God, and my deliverer, my shielder; for in no way should I migrate. 7 By God is my deliverance, and my glory; the God of my help; and my hope is upon God. 8 Hope upon him, all you gathering people! pour out before him your hearts! for God is our helper. PAUSE. 9 But [⁴are vain ¹the ²sons ³of men]; [⁴are false weights ¹the ²sons ³of men] in the yoke balance scales to do wrong. They are of folly all together. 10 Hope not upon unrighteousness, and [²after ³a thing seized ¹long not]! If wealth should flow, set not the heart upon it! 11 Once God spoke, and these two things I heard; that might is of God, 12 and of you, O lord, is mercy. For you recompense each according to his works.
