\62:1\My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my salvation. |
3 |
\62:2\He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved. |
4 |
\62:3\How long will you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling? |
5 |
\62:4\Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (Selah.) |

\62:5\My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my hope. |
7 |
\62:6\He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved. |
8 |
\62:7\In God is my salvation, and my glory; the Rock of my strength, and my safe place. |

\62:8\Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah.) |

11 |
\62:10\Have no faith in the rewards of evil-doing, or in profits wrongly made: if your wealth is increased, do not put your hopes on it. |

\62:11\Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's: |

\62:12\And mercy, O Lord, is yours, for you give to every man the reward of his work. |
