My soul, in silence wait for God; He is my help approved, He only is my rock and tower, And I shall not be moved. 3 My honor is secure with God, My Savior He is known; My refuge and my rock of strength Are found in God alone. On Him, ye people, evermore Rely with confidence; Before Him pour ye out your heart, For God is our defense. 4 For surely men are helpers vain, The high and the abased; Yea, lighter than a breath are thy When in the balance placed. Trust not in harsh oppression's power Nor in unrighteous gain; If wealth increase, yet on your gold Ye set your hearts in vain. 5 For God has spoken o'er and o'er, And unto me has shown, That saving power and lasting strength Belong to Him alone. Yea, lovingkindness evermore Belongs to Thee, O Lord; And Thou according to his work Dost every man reward. Scripture: Psalm 62 Languages: English Tune Title: SERAPH

For man is like a breath, a sight, His days on earth as quickly fly As shadows o'er the plain. 3 Lord, how Thy heavens, in might descend, Touch Thou the hills, the mountains rend, And they shall smoke and flame; As arrows send Thy lightnings out to put Thy enemies to rout, And fill Thy foes with shame. 4 Stretch forth Thy hand and rescue me From trouble's dark and raging sea, And from the alien throng, Whose mouth but vanity doth speak, Whose hand of strength against the weak Is filled with craft and wrong. 5 Now will I sing a glad new song, Thy praise, O God, I will prolong, For Thou hast heard my prayer; Salvation Thou dost give to kings, Thy own dost keep, with sheltering wings, From hurtful sword and snare. 6 O Thou to Whom in trust I flee, Stretch forth Thy hand and rescue me From all the alien throng, Whose mouth but vanity doth speak, Whose hand of strength against the weak Is filled with craft and wrong.
