| The Holy Bible: King James Version. 2000. | | The Psalms | | 62 |
God the Only Refuge |
| To the chief Musician, to Jedu'thun, A Psalm of David. |
|
| 1 |
Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
| | |
from him cometh my salvation. |
|
|
| 2 |
He only is my rock and my salvation;
| | |
he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved. |
|
|
| 3 |
How long will ye imagine mischief against a man?
| | |
Ye shall be slain all of you: |
|
as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence. |
|
|
| 4 |
They only consult to cast him down from his excellency:
| | |
they delight in lies: |
|
they bless with their mouth, |
|
but they curse inwardly. Selah. |
|
|
| 5 |
My soul, wait thou only upon God;
| | |
for my expectation is from him. |
|
|
| 6 |
He only is my rock and my salvation:
| | |
he is my defense; I shall not be moved. |
|
|
| 7 |
In God is my salvation and my glory:
| | |
the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. |
|
|
| 8 |
Trust in him at all times;
| | |
ye people, pour out your heart before him: |
|
God is a refuge for us. Selah. |
|
|
| 9 |
Surely men of low degree are vanity,
| | |
and men of high degree are a lie: |
|
to be laid in the balance, |
|
they are altogether lighter than vanity. |
|
|
| 10 |
Trust not in oppression,
| | |
and become not vain in robbery: |
|
if riches increase, |
|
set not your heart upon them. |
|
|
| 11 |
God hath spoken once;
| | |
twice have I heard this; |
|
that power belongeth unto God. |
|
|
| 12 |
Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy:
|
|
|
