Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
English Revised Version
Psalms 62
1My soul waiteth only upon God: from him cometh my salvation. 2He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved. 3How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may slay him, all of you, like a bowing wall, like a tottering fence? 4They only consult to thrust him down from his excellency; they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah 5My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. 6He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my high tower; I shall not be moved. 7With God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. 8Trust in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah 9Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: in the balances they will go up; they are together lighter than vanity. 10Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart thereon. 11God hath spoken once, twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God: 12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
