Psalms

Psalm 62:5–8

⁵Rest in God alone, O my soul,

for my hope comes from Him.

⁶He alone is my rock and my salvation;

He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.

⁷My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock;

my refuge is in God.

⁸Trust in Him at all times, O people;

pour out your hearts before Him.

God is our refuge.

Selah
