New Living Translation
Psalms • Chapter 62
1
I wait quietly before God (Elohim),<br>for my victory comes from him.<br>
2
He alone is my rock and my salvation,<br>my fortress where I will never be shaken.<br>
3
So many enemies against one man —<br>all of them trying to kill me.<br>To them I’m just a broken-down wall<br>or a tottering fence.<br>
4
They plan to topple me from my high position.<br>They delight in telling lies about me.<br>They praise me to my face<br>but curse me in their hearts. <i>Interlude</i><br>
5
Let all that I am wait quietly before God (Elohim),<br>for my hope is in him.<br>
6
He alone is my rock and my salvation,<br>my fortress where I will not be shaken.<br>
7
My victory and honor come from God (Elohim) alone.<br>He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.<br>
8
O my people, trust in him at all times.<br>Pour out your heart to him,<br>for God (Elohim) is our refuge. <i>Interlude</i><br>
9
Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind,<br>and the powerful are not what they appear to be.<br>If you weigh them on the scales,<br>together they are lighter than a breath of air.<br>
10
Don’t make your living by extortion<br>or put your hope in stealing.<br>And if your wealth increases,<br>don’t make it the center of your life.<br>
11
God (Elohim) has spoken plainly,<br>and I have heard it many times:<br>Power, O God (Elohim), belongs to you;<br>
12
unfailing love, O Lord, is yours.<br>Surely you repay all people<br>according to what they have done.<br>
