This is a song that David wrote for the music leader, Jeduthun.

Only God can save me!

62 I will be patient as I wait for God to help me.
    He is the only one who can make me safe.
He alone is the strong rock
    where I can hide and be safe.
With him, nothing will make me fall.

How long will you all continue to attack me?
I am just one man,
    and you want to kill me!
You want to knock me down,
    like a weak wall or a fence that is falling down.[a]

Psalm 62[a]

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

Truly my soul finds rest(A) in God;(B)
    my salvation comes from him.
Truly he is my rock(C) and my salvation;(D)
    he is my fortress,(E) I will never be shaken.(F)

How long will you assault me?
    Would all of you throw me down—
    this leaning wall,(G) this tottering fence?
