My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 62 of Psalms. Psalm 62 insists that the soul finds rest only in God. Repeated expressions such as rock, salvation, and refuge create a structure of trust contrasting with human instability. The psalmist warns against trusting in oppression and riches as well as becoming fascinated with power. The conclusion brings together two decisive attributes of God: power and mercy, both foundations of his justice.

Sie denken nur, wie sie ihn dämpfen, fleißigen sich der Lüge; geben gute Worte, aber im Herzen fluchen sie. (Sela.)
Alma mía, en Dios solamente reposa; Porque de él es mi esperanza.
Alma mía, espera en silencio solo en Dios, porque de él viene mi esperanza.
Oui, mon âme, confie-toi en Dieu! Car de lui vient mon espérance.
Anima mia, acquetati in Dio solo; Perciocchè la mia speranza pende da lui.
Ó minha alma, espera somente em Deus, porque dele vem a minha esperança.
我的心哪,你當默默無聲,專等候上帝, 因為我的盼望是從他而來。
