Psalm 62. Nonne Deo?
From the
Book of Divine Worship - The Psalter or Psalms of David - Traditional - Twelfth Day - Morning Prayer.
- MY soul truly waiteth still upon God; *
for of him cometh my salvation.
- He verily is my strength and my salvation; *
he is my defence, so that I shall not greatly fall.
- How long will ye imagine mischief against every man? *
Ye shall be slain all the sort of you; yea, as a tottering wall shall ye be, and like a broken hedge.
- Their device is only how to put him out whom God will exalt; *
their delight is in lies; they give good words with their mouth, but curse with their heart.
- Nevertheless, my soul, wait thou still upon God; *
for my hope is in him.
- He truly is my strength and my salvation; *
he is my defence, so that I shall not fall.
- In God is my health and my glory; *
the rock of my might; and in God is my trust.
- O put your trust in him alway, ye people; *
pour out your hearts before him, for God is our hope.
- As for the children of men, they are but vanity; the children of men are deceitful; *
upon the weights they are altogether lighter than vanity itself.
- O trust not in wrong and robbery; give not yourselves unto vanity: *
if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
- God spake once, and twice I have also heard the same, *
that power belongeth unto God;
- And that thou, Lord, art merciful; *
for thou rewardest every man according to his work.
