Psalms 62:1-9

¹God is the only one who can give me peace in my inner being, and he is the one who saves me from my enemies.

²Only he is like an overhanging rock under which I can be safe MET; he will be like a shelter, with the result that I will never be defeated MET.

³When will you, my enemies, stop attacking me RHQ? I feel that I am as useless against you as a wall that is about to fall over or a broken-down fence MET.

⁴My enemies plan to remove me from my important position so that people no longer honor me. They delight in telling lies. They bless people by what they say MTY, but in their inner beings they curse those people.

⁵God is the only one who gives me peace in my inner being; he is the one whom I confidently expect to help me.

⁶Only he is like an overhanging rock under which I can be safe MET; he is like a shelter, and as a result I will never be defeated.

⁷God is the one who saves me and honors me. He is like an overhanging strong rock under which I can find shelter MET.

⁸You my people, always trust in him. Tell him all your troubles, because he is ◄our refuge/the one who protects us► MET.

⁹People who are considered to be unimportant are as worthless/unreliable as a breath of air; people who are considered to be important also really ◄amount to nothing/cannot be trusted to help us►. If you put them all on a scale, it would be as if they weighed less than a puff of air.
