Psalm 62

God, the one and only--

I’ll wait as long as he says.

Everything I need comes from him,

so why not?

He’s solid rock under my feet,

breathing room for my Soul,

an impregnable castle:

I’m set for Life.


How long will you gang up on me?

How long will you run with the bullies?

There’s nothing to you, any of you--

rotten floorboards, worm-eaten rafters,

Anthills plotting to bring down mountains,

far gone in make-believe.

You talk a good line,

but every “blessing” breathes a curse.


God, the one and only--

I’ll wait as long as he says.

Everything I hope for comes from him,

so why not?

He’s solid rock under my feet,

breathing room for my Soul,

an impregnable castle:

I’m set for Life.


My help and glory are in God

--granite-strength and safe-harbour-God--

So trust him absolutely, people;

lay your lives on the line for him.

God is a safe place to be.
