Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 62

My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from Him.

He alone is my rock and my refuge,
my fortress where I will never be shaken.

How long will those who do harm press against me?

They scheme and whisper, seeking to bring me down,
but their strength is a breath, their words crumble like dust.

Yet my soul remains still before God,
for my hope is found in Him.

He alone is my rock and salvation,
my shelter where I stand secure.

Trust in Him at all times, O people,
pour out your hearts before Him,
for God is our refuge.

The power of the mighty is fleeting,
the wealth of the world is an illusion.

Do not trust in force,
do not set your heart on riches—
they vanish like mist.

One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard:
that power belongs to God,
and unfailing love is His.

Surely You, O Lord,
will guide each heart according to what is right.
