1
To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation.
2
He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.
3
How long will you attack a man? You shall be slain, all of you, Like a leaning wall and a tottering fence.
4
They only consult to cast him down from his high position; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, But they curse inwardly. Selah
5
My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him.
6
He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved.
7
In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God.
8
Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
9
Surely men of low degree are a vapor, Men of high degree are a lie; If they are weighed on the scales, They are altogether lighter than vapor.
10
Do not trust in oppression, Nor vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, Do not set your heart on them.
11
God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God.
12
Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy; For You render to each one according to his work.
