Psalm 62

Only God can save me,

   and I calmly wait for him.  

 God alone is the mighty rock 

that keeps me safe

   and the fortress

   where I am secure. 

    I feel like a shaky fence

   or a sagging wall.

   How long will all of you

   attack and assault me?

   You want to bring me down

   from my place of honor.

   You love to tell lies,

   and when your words are kind,

   hatred hides in your heart. 

  Only God gives inward peace,

   and I depend on him.

  God alone is the mighty rock

   that keeps me safe,

   and he is the fortress

   where I feel secure.

   God saves me and honors me.

   He is that mighty rock

   where I find safety. 

 Trust God, my friends,

   and always tell him

   each one of your concerns.

   God is our place of safety. 

    We humans are only a breath;

   none of us are truly great.

   All of us together weigh less

   than a puff of air.

   Don't trust in violence

   or depend on dishonesty

   or rely on great wealth.

  I heard God say two things:

   "I am powerful,

 and I am very kind."

   The Lord rewards each of us

   according to what we do.
