Psalm 62
Nonne Deo?
The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 14 verses
- 1
For God alone my soul in silence waits; *
from him comes my salvation. - 2
He alone is my rock and my salvation, *
my stronghold, so that I shall not be greatly shaken. - 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
They seek only to bring me down from my place of honor; *
lies are their chief delight. - 5
They bless with their lips, *
but in their hearts they curse. - 6
For God alone my soul in silence waits; *
truly, my hope is in him. - 7
He alone is my rock and my salvation, *
my stronghold, so that I shall not be shaken. - 8
In God is my safety and my honor; *
God is my strong rock and my refuge. - 9
Put your trust in him always, O people, *
pour out your hearts before him, for God is our refuge. - 10
Those of high degree are but a fleeting breath, *
even those of low estate cannot be trusted. - 11
On the scales they are lighter than a breath, *
all of them together. - 12
Put no trust in extortion; in robbery take no empty pride; *
though wealth increase, set not your heart upon it. - 13
God has spoken once, twice have I heard it, *
that power belongs to God. - 14
Steadfast love is yours, O Lord, *
for you repay everyone according to his deeds.
