Psalm 61

A Soldier’s Prayer From the End of the Earth

Heading

For the choir director. On a stringed instrument. By David.

A Prayer From the End of the Earth

¹ Hear my cry, O God.
Pay attention to my prayer.
² From the end of the earth I call to you
when my heart is overwhelmed.
Lead me up onto the rock that is higher than I.
³ For you have been a refuge for me,
a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.
⁴ I want to keep living in your tent forever. Interlude
I will take refuge under the cover of your wings.
⁵ For you, God, have heard my vows.
You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
⁶ Add days to the days of the king.
His years will last through all generations.
⁷ Let him be seated in God’s presence forever.
Appoint your mercy and truth to protect him.
⁸ Then will I make music to your name forever,
to fulfill my vows day after day.

Psalm 62

My Soul Rests in God Alone

Heading

For the choir director. According to Jeduthun. ^[1] A psalm by David.

God Alone Is My Refuge

¹ My soul rests quietly in God alone.
My salvation is from him.
² He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.
I will not be disturbed.
³ How long will you threaten a man?
Do all of you want to murder him,
like a leaning wall, like a fence to be pushed down?
⁴ Yes, they plan to push him down from his lofty place.
They are delighted with deceit.
With their mouths they bless,
but inside they curse. Interlude

God Alone Is My Refuge

⁵ My soul, rest quietly in God alone,
for my hope comes from him.
⁶ He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.
I will not be disturbed.
⁷ My salvation and my honor depend on God, my strong rock.
My refuge is in God.
⁸ Trust in him at all times, you people.
Pour out your hearts before him. Interlude
God is a refuge for us.

Strength in God, Not in Man

⁹ Yes, the sons of Adam are only a breath.
The sons of man are a delusion.
On a scale they weigh nothing.
They are nothing but air. ^[2]
10 Do not trust in extortion.
Do not put empty confidence in stolen goods.
If your wealth grows, do not set your heart on it.
¹¹ One thing God has spoken,
two things that I have heard:
that God has strength
¹² and that you, Lord, have mercy.
Surely you will repay each person
according to what he has done.
