☦️ Orthodox - Psalm 62

[sprinkleeninow]

A psalm of David.
1
2
My soul rests in God alone
from whom comes my salvation.

3
God alone is my rock and salvation,
my fortress; I shall never fall.

4
How long will you set yourself against a man?
You shall all be destroyed,
Like a sagging wall
or a tumbled down fence!

5
Even highly placed people
plot to overthrow him.
They delight in lies;
they bless with their mouths,
but inwardly they curse.

Selah

6
My soul, be at rest in God alone,
from whom comes my hope.

7
God alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not fall.

8
My deliverance and honor are with God,
my strong rock;
my refuge is with God.

9
Trust God at all times, my people!
Pour out your hearts to God our refuge!

Selah


10
Mortals are a mere breath,
the sons of man but an illusion;
On a balance they rise;
together they weigh nothing.

11
Do not trust in extortion;
in plunder put no empty hope.
On wealth that increases,
do not set your heart.

12
One thing God has said;
two things I have heard
Strength belongs to God;

13
so too, my Lord, does mercy,
For you repay each man
according to his deeds.
