62:0 Trusting in God
62 For the musical director: a song by David Hidutun.
62 I wait in silence for God alone.
He’s the only one who can rescue me.
2 He alone is my rock and the one who rescues me.
He’s my fortified tower—no enemy will get me out of there.
3 How long, all of you, will you attack a man?
All of you will be murdered INVESTIGATE
like a leaning wall or a wobbling fence.
4 They plan to bring him down from his high position.
They love to tell lies—
they bless him with their mouths, but in their minds they curse him. (Instrumental break.)
5 I wait in silence for God alone
because I’ve placed my hope in him.
6 He alone is my rock and the one who rescues me.
He’s my fortified tower—no enemy will get me out of there.
7 It’s God who saves and honours me.
≈I find my safe place in God and he’s the source of my strength.
8 Trust him at all times, you people.
Tell him all your troubles.
God is a place where we can be protected. (Instrumental break.)
9 Humans are nothing but a puff of wind.
≈They don’t weigh much on the scales.
→Even when weighed together, they’re lighter than air.
10 Don’t rely on extortion or robbery.
≈Don’t hope uselessly in your wealth,
→because it’ll bear no fruit—don’t fix your heart on them.
≈Twice I’ve heard this:
→all power comes from God.
12 Also, loyal commitment comes from you, my master,
because you pay back every person for what they’ve done.
