God's word for today

A psalm for this year's election day, Psalm 62:

Only in God do I[a] find rest;     my salvation comes from him. 2 Only God is my rock and my salvation—     my stronghold!—I won’t be shaken anymore. 3 How long will all of you attack others;     how long will you tear them down[b]     as if they were leaning walls or broken-down fences? 4 The only desire of this people     is to bring others down low;     they delight in deception. With their mouths they bless,     but inside they are cursing. Selah 5 Oh, I[c] must find rest in God only,     because my hope comes from him! 6 Only God is my rock and my salvation—     my stronghold!—I will not be shaken. 7 My deliverance and glory depend on God.     God is my strong rock.     My refuge is in God. 8 All you people: Trust in him at all times!     Pour out your hearts before him!     God is our refuge! Selah 9 Human beings are nothing but a breath.     Human beings are nothing but lies.     They don’t even register on a scale;     taken all together they are lighter than a breath! 10 Don’t trust in violence;     don’t set false hopes in robbery. When wealth bears fruit,     don’t set your heart on it. 11 God has spoken one thing—     make it two things—     that I myself have heard:     that strength belongs to God, 12     and faithful love comes from you, my Lord—     and that you will repay     everyone according to their deeds.
