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.)
