Psalm 62

New Century Version

³ How long will you attack someone?
    Will all of you kill that person?
    Who is like a leaning wall, like a fence ready to fall?
⁴ They are planning to make that person fall.
    They enjoy telling lies.
With their mouths they bless,
    but in their hearts they curse. Selah

⁵ I find rest in God;
    only he gives me hope.
⁶ He is my rock and my salvation.
    He is my defender;
    I will not be defeated.
⁷ My honor and salvation come from God.
    He is my mighty rock and my protection.

⁸ People, trust God all the time.
    Tell him all your problems,
    because God is our protection. Selah

⁹ The least of people are only a breath,
    and even the greatest are just a lie.
On the scales, they weigh nothing;
    together they are only a breath.
¹⁰ Do not trust in force.
    Stealing is of no use.
Even if you gain more riches,
    don’t put your trust in them.

¹¹ God has said this,
    and I have heard it over and over:
    God is strong.
¹² The Lord is loving.
    You reward people for what they have done.
