LXII GOD AC0LONE A REFUGE FROM TREACHERY AND OPPRESSION
For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
［1］ MY soul waiteth〖Heb. is silent unto God.〗 in silence for God only:
From him cometh my salvation.
［2］ He only is my rock and my salvation:
He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.
［3］ How long will ye set upon a man,
That〖Or, as otherwise read, Ye shall be slain &c. .〗 ye may slay him, all of you,
Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
［4］ They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity;
They delight in lies;
They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.
［Selah
［5］ My soul, wait〖Heb. be thou silent unto God.〗 thou in silence for God only;
For my expectation is from him.
［6］ He only is my rock and my salvation:
He is my high tower; I shall not be moved.
［7］ With 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,〖Heb. a breath.〗 and men of high degree are a lie:
In the balances they will go up;
They are together lighter than vanity.〖Heb. a breath.〗
［10］ Trust not in oppression,
And become not vain in robbery:
If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
［11］ God hath spoken once,
Twice have I heard this,
That power belongeth unto God.
［12］ Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness;
For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
