WORDS OF LIFE

Psalms 62

1 Truly my soul finds rest in God; My salvation comes from him.

2 Truly he is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

3 How long will you assault me?
Would all of you throw me down — this leaning wall, this tottering fence?

4 Surely they intend to topple me from my lofty place; They take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse.

5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God; My hope comes from him.

6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

7 My salvation and my honor depend on God; He is my mighty rock, my refuge.

8 Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge.

9 Surely the lowborn are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance, they are nothing; Together they are only a breath.

10 Do not trust in extortion or put vain hope in stolen goods;
Though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

11 One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,

12 and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”; and, “You reward everyone according to what they have done.”

— Psalms 62:1-12
