Psalm 62:1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from Him [cometh]
Psalm 62:2 He only [is] my rock and my salvation; [He is] my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.
Psalm 62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation [is] from Him.
Psalm 62:8 Trust in Him at all times; [ye] people, pour out your heart before Him: God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.
Psalm 62:9
Surely men of low degree [are] vanity,
[and] men of high degree [are] a lie:
to be laid in the balance,
they [are] altogether [lighter] than vanity.
Men of low degree are only vanity, nothing more.To be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. Take a true estimate of them; judge them neither by quantity nor by appearance, but by weight, and they will no longer deceive you."
