Psalm 62: 1-12

My soul finds rest in God alone,
my salvation comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation.
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

How long will you assault a man?
Would all of you throw him down-
this leaning wall, this tottering fence?

They fully intend to topple him
from his lofty place
they take delight in lies.
With their mouth they bless,
but in their hearts they curse.

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone,
my hope comes from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God.
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

Trust in him at all times, O people,
pour out your hearts to him,
For God is our refuge.

Lowborn men are but a breath,
the highborn are but a lie,
if weighed on a balance, they are nothing,
together they are only a breath.

Do not trust in extortion
or take pride in stolen goods,
though your riches increase,
do not set your heart on them.

One thing God has spoken,
two things have I heard,
that you, O god are strong,
and that you, O Lord are loving.
Surely you will reward each person
according to what he has done.
