62:1 A psalm of David while he was in the desert of Edom.

62:2 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.

62:3 How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.

62:4 But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.

62:5 But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.

62:6 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.

62:7 In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.

62:8 Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.

62:9 But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.

62:10 Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.

62:11 God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,

62:12 And mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
