28.5 Trust In God Alone

(Psalm 62)

I wait patiently for God to save me;
I depend on him alone.
He alone protects and saves me,
He is my defender, and I shall never be defeated.

How much longer will all of you attack a man
who is no stronger than broken-down fence?
You only want to bring him down from his place
of honor;
you take pleasure in lies.
You speak word of blessing,
but in your heart you curse him.

I depend on God alone; I put my hope in him.
He alone protects and saves me; he his my defender,
and I shall never be defeated.
My salvation and honor depend on God;
he is my strong protector; he is my shelter.
Trust in God at all times, my people.
Tell him all your troubles, for he is our refuge.

Men are all like a puff of breath;
great and small alike are worthless.
Put them on scales, and they weigh nothing;
they are lighter than a mere breath.
Don’t put your trust in violence;
don’t hope to gain anything by robbery;
even if your riches increase,
don’t depend on them.

More than once I have heard God say
that power belongs to him
and that his love is constant.
You yourself, O LORD, reward everyone
according to his deeds.
