Psalms 62:4

Waiting on God

3How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence? 4They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. Selah 5Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.
