Psalms 62 — Context

He alone is my protector and deliverer. He is my refuge; I will not be upended.

How long will you threaten a man? All of you are murderers, as dangerous as a leaning wall or an unstable fence.

They spend all their time planning how to bring him down. They love to use deceit; they pronounce blessings with their mouths, but inwardly they utter curses.(Selah)

Patiently wait for God alone, my soul! For he is the one who gives me hope.

He alone is my protector and deliverer. He is my refuge; I will not be shaken.

God delivers me and exalts me; God is my strong protector and my shelter.

Trust in him at all times, you people! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our shelter!(Selah)
