To the Chief Musician.
To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1
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 aman?
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 hight 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 expectaion 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 weighted in the balances, they are altogether lighter than vapoar.
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 elongs to God.
12
Also to You, O LORD, belongs mercy;
for you render to each one according to his work.
