Day 12 — Psalm 62

HEBREW

PSALM 62

Hope in God alone

For the choirmaster, Jeduthun, psalm of David.

In God alone there is rest for my soul,

from Him comes my safety;

with Him alone for my rock, my safety,

my fortress, I can never fall.

How many times will you come rushing at a man,

all of you, to bring him down

like a wall already leaning over,

like a rampart undermined?

Deceit their sole intention,

their delight is to mislead;

with lies on their lips they bless aloud,

while cursing inwardly, selah.

Rest in God alone, my soul!

He is the source of my hope;

with Him alone for my rock, my safety,

my fortress, I can never fall;

rest in God, my safety, my glory,

the rock of my strength.

In God, I find shelter; rely on Him

people, at all times;

unburden your hearts to Him,

God is a shelter for us, selah.

Ordinary men are only a puff of wind,

important men delusion;

put both in the scales and up they go,

lighter than a puff of wind.

Put no reliance on extortion,

no empty hopes in robbery;

though riches may increase,

keep your heart detached.

God has spoken once,

twice I have heard this:

it is for God to be strong,

for You, Lord, to be loving;

and You Yourself repay

man as His works deserve.
