For the music director, Jeduthun; a psalm of David.
62:1 For God alone I patiently wait; 2
he is the one who delivers me. 3
62:2 He alone is my protector 4 and deliverer.
He is my refuge; 5 I will not be upended. 6
62:3 How long will you threaten 7 a man?
All of you are murderers, 8
as dangerous as a leaning wall or an unstable fence. 9
62:4 They 10 spend all their time planning how to bring him 11 down. 12
They love to use deceit; 13
they pronounce blessings with their mouths,
but inwardly they utter curses. 14 (Selah)
62:5 Patiently wait for God alone, my soul! 15
For he is the one who gives me confidence. 16
62:6 He alone is my protector 17 and deliverer.
He is my refuge; 18 I will not be upended. 19
62:7 God delivers me and exalts me;
God is my strong protector and my shelter. 20
62:8 Trust in him at all times, you people!
Pour out your hearts before him! 21
God is our shelter! (Selah)
