The Soul Waits In Silence -Psalm 62

The soul waits in silence for knowing comes his redemption from God alone it will come the fortress, rock and salvation Oh how long do attackers batter for feeling like leaning tottering wall deceitful workers speaking kindly inwardly cursing waiting for the fall Hope within waits in silence for faith in God won't be shaken the one who's the mighty fortress will never leave his own forsaken Put your trust in this God always this true refuge tell your whole heart we that are lowly are a mere breath those who trust not in riches are smart God need only to speak once for His power is His and His alone one day justice will work it's purpose as God's steadfast love will be shown (Psalm 62(ESV) For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken. How long will all of you attack a man to batter him, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence? They only plan to thrust him down from his high position. They take pleasure in falsehood. They bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Selah Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath. Put no trust in extortion; set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them. Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God, and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For you will render to a man according to his work.)
