Operating on a Different Level

My soul finds rest in God alone;

my salvation comes from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

How long will you assault a man?

Would all of you throw him down -this leaning wall, this tottering fence?

They fully intend to topple him from his lofty place;

they take delight in lies

With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;

my hope comes from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

My salvation and my honor depend on God;

he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

Trust in him at all times, O people;

pour out your hearts to him for God is our refuge.

Lowborn men are but a breath,

the highborn are but a lie;

if weighed on a balance, they are nothing;

together they are only a breath.

Do not trust in extortion

or take pride in stolen goods;

though your riches increase,

do not set your heart on them.

One thing God has spoken,

two things have I heard:

that you, O God, are strong

and that you, O Lord, are loving.

Surely you will reward each person

according to what he has done.

~Psalm 62~
