Psalms 62:3

JusticeSuffering

1 In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.

2 He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.

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

5 Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.
