Our Lover . . . Delivers

Psalm 62

¹For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.
² He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.
³How long will all of you attack a man
to batter him,
like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
⁴They only plan to thrust him down from his high position.
They take pleasure in falsehood.
They bless with their mouths,
but inwardly they curse.
Selah

⁵For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.
⁶He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
⁷On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
⁸Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us.
Selah

⁹Those of low estate are but a breath;
those of high estate are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
they are together lighter than a breath.
¹⁰Put no trust in extortion;
set no vain hopes on robbery;
if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
¹¹Once God has spoken;
twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,
¹²and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love.
For you will render to a man
according to his work.
