Psalm 62:1-2
Literal Standard Version
Chapter overview
Psalm 62 answers pressure with quiet confidence. Though enemies attack like a leaning wall and society trusts rank, robbery, or wealth, the psalmist waits for God alone, the dependable rock where power and steadfast love meet.

1TO THE OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF DAVID. Toward God alone [is] my soul silent, || My salvation [is] from Him.
2He alone [is] my rock, and my salvation, || My tower, I am not much moved.
3Until when do you devise mischief against a man? All of you are destroyed, || As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.
4Only—from his excellence || They have consulted to drive away, || They enjoy a lie, they bless with their mouth, || And revile with their heart. Selah.
5For God alone, be silent, O my soul, || For my hope [is] from Him.
6He alone [is] my rock and my salvation, || My tower, I am not moved.
7On God [is] my salvation, and my glory, || The rock of my strength, my refuge [is] in God.
8Trust in Him at all times, O people, || Pour forth your heart before Him, || God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.
9Surely vanity the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up || They [are] lighter than a breath.
10Do not trust in oppression, || And do not become vain in robbery, || Do not set the heart [on] wealth when it increases.
11Once has God spoken, twice I heard this, || That “strength [is] with God.”
12And with You, O Lord, [is] kindness, || For You repay to each, || According to his work!
