Psalm 62

Nonne Deo?

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 14 verses

  1. 1

    For God alone my soul in silence waits; *
    from him comes my salvation.

  2. 2

    He alone is my rock and my salvation, *
    my stronghold, so that I shall not be greatly shaken.

  3. 3

    How long will you assail me to crush me, all of you together, *
    as if you were a leaning fence, a toppling wall?

  4. 4

    They seek only to bring me down from my place of honor; *
    lies are their chief delight.

  5. 5

    They bless with their lips, *
    but in their hearts they curse.

  6. 6

    For God alone my soul in silence waits; *
    truly, my hope is in him.

  7. 7

    He alone is my rock and my salvation, *
    my stronghold, so that I shall not be shaken.

  8. 8

    In God is my safety and my honor; *
    God is my strong rock and my refuge.

  9. 9

    Put your trust in him always, O people, *
    pour out your hearts before him, for God is our refuge.

  10. 10

    Those of high degree are but a fleeting breath, *
    even those of low estate cannot be trusted.

  11. 11

    On the scales they are lighter than a breath, *
    all of them together.

  12. 12

    Put no trust in extortion; in robbery take no empty pride; *
    though wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.

  13. 13

    God has spoken once, twice have I heard it, *
    that power belongs to God.

  14. 14

    Steadfast love is yours, O Lord, *
    for you repay everyone according to his deeds.
