Psalm 62

²⁵The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.

²He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.

³¹But those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.

⁷Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men prosper in their ways, when they carry out wicked schemes.

²⁰Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.

²Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. For the Lord God is my strength and my song, and He also has become my salvation.”

²The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

⁸We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;

⁹persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.

⁶He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.

⁴Trust in the Lord forever, because God the Lord is the Rock eternal.

²⁵Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth I desire no one besides You.

²⁶My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

²⁶He will call to Me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock of my salvation.’

¹⁴Wash the evil from your heart, O Jerusalem, so that you may be saved. How long will you harbor wicked thoughts within you?

²who devise evil in their hearts and stir up war all day long.

²“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah

²⁸Then the Lord said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?

¹³this iniquity of yours is like a breach about to fail, a bulge in a high wall, whose collapse will come suddenly—in an instant!

¹⁴It will break in pieces like a potter’s jar, shattered so that no fragment can be found. Not a shard will be found in the dust large enough to scoop the coals from a hearth or to skim the water from a cistern.”

¹¹Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail.

²¹His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed.

³Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.

⁹For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.

²²For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.

³²Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them.

¹⁵But outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

⁷But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

¹³Still I am certain to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

¹⁴Wait patiently for the Lord; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the Lord!

²⁴“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.”

²⁵The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.

¹¹Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.

⁵For You are my hope, O Lord God, my confidence from my youth.

¹Of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; all that is within me, bless His holy name.

²Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—

²He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.

⁶Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.

⁸I have set the Lord always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

³⁰The righteous will never be shaken, but the wicked will not inhabit the land.

¹⁷But Israel will be saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation; you will not be put to shame or humiliated, to ages everlasting.

³¹For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God?

³²It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way clear.

³But You, O Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.

⁴Trust in the Lord forever, because God the Lord is the Rock eternal.

²²But the Lord has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge.

²The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

¹Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout to the Rock of our salvation!

²³Surely deception comes from the hills, and commotion from the mountains. Surely the salvation of Israel is in the Lord our God.

⁶Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

⁴Trust in the Lord forever, because God the Lord is the Rock eternal.

¹⁹Arise, cry out in the night from the first watch of the night. Pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord. Lift up your hands to Him for the lives of your children who are fainting from hunger on the corner of every street.

²I pour out my complaint before Him; I reveal my trouble to Him.

¹⁵“No, my lord,” Hannah replied. “I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have not had any wine or strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the Lord.

²The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

⁵You, indeed, have made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime as nothing before You. Truly each man at his best exists as but a breath. Selah

¹⁷All the nations are as nothing before Him; He regards them as nothingness and emptiness.

¹⁵Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are considered a speck of dust on the scales; He lifts up the islands like fine dust.

⁹It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.

¹¹You discipline and correct a man for his iniquity, consuming like a moth what he holds dear; surely each man is but a vapor. Selah

¹⁹Then the Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding among us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah south of Jeshimon?

²⁰Now, O king, come down whenever your soul desires, and we will be responsible for delivering him into your hand.”

¹⁷Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be conceited and not to put their hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in God, who richly provides all things for us to enjoy.

⁷“Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction.”

¹¹Like a partridge hatching eggs it did not lay is the man who makes a fortune unjustly. In the middle of his days his riches will desert him, and in the end he will be the fool.”

¹⁰For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

²⁴If I have put my trust in gold or called pure gold my security,

²⁵if I have rejoiced in my great wealth because my hand had gained so much,

⁸For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity; in My faithfulness I will give them their recompense and make an everlasting covenant with them.

¹After this I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude in heaven, shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God!

¹⁴For God speaks in one way and in another, yet no one notices.

⁴Trust in the Lord forever, because God the Lord is the Rock eternal.

³⁴Ascribe the power to God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose strength is in the skies.

³⁵O God, You are awesome in Your sanctuary; the God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God!

⁵I have spoken once, but I have no answer—twice, but I have nothing to add.”

¹¹Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of greater sin.”

²⁷For the Son of Man will come in His Father’s glory with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to what he has done.

¹¹For according to a man’s deeds He repays him; according to a man’s ways He brings consequences.

¹⁰For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his due for the things done in the body, whether good or bad.

⁶God “will repay each one according to his deeds.”

⁸The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.

⁶Then the Lord passed in front of Moses and called out: “The Lord, the Lord God, is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness,

⁷maintaining loving devotion to a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers on their children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”
