Confidence in God’s Salvation

For the music director, on Jeduthun.[a]

A psalm of David.[b]

62 Only for God my soul waits in silence.
From him is my salvation.
Only he is my rock and my salvation,
my high stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.
How long will you attack a man?
All of you will be shattered[c]
like a leaning wall, a tottering fence.
