About this Hymn
Psalm 62 expresses deep trust in God as our unshakable refuge and rich delight in God as the source of our salvation. These modern lyrics dive into that ancient prayer, including sentiments of how we will respond when friends slander us, when sin tempts us, even when greed tries to seduce us. The song ends with a daily resolution to pour out our souls to God in light of life's fleeting nature—and God's resurrecting power.
Lyrics
Verse 1
My soul finds rest in God alone, my Rock and my Salvation, a fortress strong against my foes; and I will not be shaken. Though lips may bless and hearts may curse, and lies like arrows pierce me, I'll fix my heart on righteousness; I'll look to him who hears me.
Chorus
Oh, praise him, hallelujah, my delight and my reward! Everlasting, never failing; my Redeemer, my God.
Verse 2
Find rest, my soul, in God alone amid the world's temptations; when evil seeks to take a hold, I'll cling to my salvation. Though riches come and riches go, don't set your heart upon them. The fields of hope in which I sow are harvested in heaven.
Verse 3
I'll set my gaze on God alone and trust in him completely; with ev'ry day pour out my soul, and he will prove his mercy. Though life is but a fleeting breath, a sigh too brief to measure, my King has crushed the curse of death, and I am his forever!
