F Psalm 62 – Chant E

Psalm 62  Nonne Deo?

1 For God alone my soul in si-lence waits ; *
from him comes my sal-va-tion.

2 He alone is my rock and my sal-va-tion, *
my stronghold, so that I shall not be great-ly sha-ken.

3 How long will you assail me to crush me, all of you to-ge-ther, *
as if you were a leaning fence, a toppling wall   ?

4 They seek only to bring me down from my place of ho-nor; *
lies are their chief de-light.

5 They bless with their lips   , *
but in their hearts they curse.

6 For God alone my soul in si-lence waits; *
truly, my hope is in him   .

7 He alone is my rock and my sal-va-tion, *
my stronghold, so that I shall not be sha-ken.

8 In God is my safety and my ho-nor; *
God is my strong rock and my re-fuge.

9 Put your trust in him al-ways, O peo-ple, *
pour out your hearts before him, for God is our re-fuge.

10 Those of high degree are but a fleeting breath, *
even those of low estate cannot be trus-ted.

11 On the scales they are lighter than a breath   , *
all of them to-ge-ther.

12 Put no trust in extortion;
in robbery take no emp-ty pride   ; *
though wealth increase, set not your heart up-on it.

13 God has spoken once,
twice have I heard it, *
that power belongs to God   .

14 Steadfast love is yours, O Lord, *
for you repay everyone according to his deeds   .

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Ho-ly Spir-it: *
As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. A–men   .
