Read in context

Psalms 62:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.

3 How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?

4 They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. Selah

5 Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.

6 He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.
