Psalm 62

This has been a Psalm that has been on my mind and heart the past couple of weeks. Our worship team is learning a worship song that is based on this Psalm, and that has made it even closer to my heart. There is something about reading the Word of God, and singing it as well. For me, I take it in when I read and meditate on it; and then when I sing it, I express it outwardly in committment and praise. Let me encourage you to read Psalm 62; and then consider the way it is worded in this song:

Psalm 62 by Stuart Townend and Aaron Keyes
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: O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward; Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God.

Find rest, my soul, in God alone Amid the world’s temptations; When evil seeks to take a holdI’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 sowAre harvested in heaven.

Chorus: O praise Him, Halelujah, My delight and my Reward; Everlasting, never failing, My redeemer, my God.

I’ll set my gaze on God alone, And trust in Him completely; With every 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 deathAnd I am His forever.

O praise Him, O praise Him, hallelujah, hallelujah, O praise Him, O praise Him, hallelujah, hallelujah, O praise Him, O praise Him, hallelujah! hallelujah!

Chorus: O Praise Him Hallelujah, my deight and my reward; everlasting, never failing, my redeemer, My God
