Psalm 62
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
1 My soul finds rest in God alone;my salvation comes from him.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
3 How long will you assault a man?
Would all of you throw him down—
this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
4 They fully intend to topple him
from his lofty place;
they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
but in their hearts they curse.
Selah
5 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from him.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and my honor depend on God;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8 Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.
Selah
9 Lowborn men are but a breath,
the highborn are but a lie;
if weighed on a balance, they are nothing;
together they are only a breath.
10 Do not trust in extortion
or take pride in stolen goods;
though your riches increase,
do not set your heart on them.
11 One thing God has spoken,
two things have I heard:
that you, O God, are strong,
12 and that you, O Lord, are loving.
Surely you will reward each person
according to what he has done.
just stop and reread that.
how gorgeous is this? i dont know what to say.
david as a "tottering fence," that all men are "nothing" if weighed on a balance, that our strong god is also a loving god-- this psalm is definitely tickling my fancy.
oh, my god, my rock,
hear me beg for forgiveness at my very lowest
undignified as i am, i return to you once more
oh, my god, my loving god,
you have given rest to the weary soul
you are ever faithful, ever loyal, ever fair
oh, my lord of lords, my hope,
you are strong!
you use your strength to love me
you are the crux of this puny existence, this short breath that is my life.
you are the crux.
you are.
