In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.
Psalm 62:1
Berean Standard Bible · 12 verses
Psalm 62, attributed to David, is a quiet statement of trust. Twice the writer says only God gives his soul rest, calling Him his rock and fortress, while others plot against him with lies. He urges people to trust God at all times and open their hearts to Him, and reminds them that wealth and power do not last.
For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.
2He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.

7My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God.
8Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge. Selah
9Lowborn men are but a vapor; the exalted are but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.
10Place no trust in extortion or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.
11God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God,
12and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man according to his deeds.
In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.
