62 (2)Psalm 62 Version 2LM
MY spirit looks to God alone;
   My rock and refuge is His throne;
In all my fears, in all my straits,
My soul on His salvation waits.
 
2  Trust Him, His saints, in all His ways;
Pour out your souls before His face;
When helpers fail, and foes invade,
God is our all-sufficient aid.
 
3  People of low or high degree
Are both alike in vanity;
Laid in the balance all appear
Lighter than vapour in the air.
 
4  Make not increasing wealth your trust,
Nor set your heart on earthly dust;
Listen to God’s transcendent voice,
And in His power and wealth rejoice.
 
5  His sovereign power reigns not alone,
Grace is a partner of His throne:
And pardoning grace with endless love
Is our sublime reward above.
 
Isaac Watts, 1674-1748‡
