Psalms 62

NIV
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
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.”
