Psalm 62- a Psalm of David

My soul rests in God alone,
from whom comes my salvation.
God alone is my rock and salvation,
my secure height; I shall never fall.

How long will you set upon people,
all of you beating them down,
As though they were a sagging fence or a battered wall?
Even from my place on high they plot to dislodge me.
They delight in lies; they bless with their mouths,
but inwardly they curse. Selah

My soul, be at rest in God alone, from whom comes my hope.
God alone is my rock and my salvation,
my secure height; I shall not fall.
My safety and glory are with God, my strong rock and refuge.
Trust God at all times, my people!
Pour out your hearts to God our refuge! Selah

Mortals are a mere breath, the powerful but an illusion;
On a balance they rise; together they are lighter than air.
Do not trust in extortion; in plunder put no empty hope.
Though wealth increase, do not set your heart upon it.

One thing God has said;
two things I have heard: Power belongs to God
so too, Lord, does kindness,
And you render to each of us according to our deeds.
* Speak to one another with psalms , hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything , in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Eph 19-20)

I'm always extra encouraged when my brothers n sisters encourage me using God's words. Not that their own words are ineffective but God's word is alive and active , sharper than any double-edged sword , it is able to fathom what is in our hearts and give us the encouragement that we need. Let us make it a habit to speak God's words to each other !
