Psalm 62 My Soul in Silence Waits for God
1. My soul in silence waits for God,
Who my own hope has proved.
A rock and stronghold is my God,
I never shall be moved.
2. In God alone my honor rests,
Who brings deliverance sure;
My rock of strength is found in God,
My refuge most secure.
3. All people are but vanity,
The best of us a lie;
Both high and low estate combined
Are lighter than a sigh.
4. In your own strength, then, place no hope,
For riches, have no lust;
Though for a moment they appeal,
They are not worth your trust.
5. For truly God has spoken once,
And twice to me made known:
That strength and power belong to God,
And unto God alone.
6. For so it is that sovereign grace
Belongs to You, O Lord;
For You according to our work
Shall everyone reward.
