Psalms 62:1-12
[1]I wait patiently for God to save me; I depend on him alone.
[2]He alone protects and saves me; he is my defender, and I shall never be defeated.
[3]How much longer will all of you attack someone who is no stronger than a broken-down fence?
[4]You only want to bring him down from his place of honour; you take pleasure in lies. You speak words of blessing, but in your heart you curse him.
[5]I depend on God alone; I put my hope in him.
[6]He alone protects and saves me; he is my defender, and I shall never be defeated.
[7]My salvation and honour depend on God; he is my strong protector; he is my shelter.
[8]Trust in God at all times, my people. Tell him all your troubles, for he is our refuge.
[9]Human beings are all like a puff of breath; great and small alike are worthless. Put them on the scales, and they weigh nothing; they are lighter than a mere breath.
[10]Don’t put your trust in violence; don’t hope to gain anything by robbery; even if your riches increase, don’t depend on them.
[11]More than once I have heard God say that power belongs to him
[12]and that his love is constant. You yourself, O Lord, reward everyone according to his deeds.
