- For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by David.
- 1My soul rests in God alone.
My salvation is from him. - 2He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress.
I will never be greatly shaken. - 3How long will you assault a man?
Would all of you throw him down,
like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? - 4They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place.
They delight in lies.
They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. - 5My soul, wait in silence for God alone,
for my expectation is from him. - 6He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.
I will not be shaken. - 7My salvation and my honour is with God.
The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. - 8Trust in him at all times, you people.
Pour out your heart before him.
God is a refuge for us. Selah. - 9Surely men of low degree are just a breath,
and men of high degree are a lie.
In the balances they will go up.
They are together lighter than a breath. - 10Don’t trust in oppression.
Don’t become vain in robbery.
If riches increase,
don’t set your heart on them. - 11God has spoken once;
twice I have heard this,
that power belongs to God. - 12Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness,
for you reward every man according to his work.
