Psalms 62:2
1 In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.
3 How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?
4 They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. Selah
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
