Psalms ◦ Chapter 62
1My inmost self finds rest only in God;
my healing and restoration come from him.2He alone defends and heals me;
he is my remedy, so I will not be destroyed.3How long will all of you verbally attack me?
Will you go beyond words and try to kill me —
to knock me over like a tottering fence or leaning wall?4Your goal is to tear me down,
to knock me off my place of esteem;
you love to lie.
You speak friendly words to my face
but curse me in your hearts.5My inmost self finds rest only in God;
my confidence comes from him.6He alone defends and heals me;
he is my remedy, so I will not be destroyed.7God recreates and exalts me;
He is my strong foundation, my safe harbor. 8O people, trust God always
and pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our safe haven.9Children of selfishness are only an expiring breath;
selfish people are untrustworthy liars.
When weighed on the scales of life, they have no health;
they have nothing beneficial to offer. 10Do not seek security in extortion;
do not hope to excel by robbery.
If you do become rich,
do not place your heart’s peace in your wealth. 11One thing God has spoken plainly
(and I have heard it many times),
that all life, health and strength come from God,12and that God is love.
Every person will receive from God
what they have chosen for themselves.
