1 [To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.] Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.2 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.3 How long will ye assail a man; will ye {seek}, all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?4 They only consult to thrust {him} down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah.5 Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.6 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.7 With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.8 Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah.9 Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together {lighter} than vanity.10 Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.11 Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength {belongeth} unto God.12 And unto thee, O Lord, {belongeth} loving-kindness; for *thou* renderest to every man according to his work.

1 Vir die musiekleier; op die wysie van: "Jedutun." 'n Psalm van Dawid.2 Ja, my siel is stil tot God; van Hom is my heil.3 Hy alleen is my rots en my heil, my rotsvesting; ek sal nie grootliks wankel nie.4 Hoe lank sal julle aanstorm op 'n man, julle almal hom verbrysel soos 'n muur wat oorhang, 'n omgestote klipmuur?5 Ja, hulle hou raad om hom van sy hoogte af te stoot; hulle het behae in leuens; met hul mond seën hulle, maar met hul binneste vloek hulle. Sela.6 Wees net maar stil tot God, my siel, want van Hom is my verwagting!7 Sekerlik, Hy is my rots en my heil, my rotsvesting; ek sal nie wankel nie.8 By God is my heil en my eer; die rots van my sterkte, my toevlug is in God.9 Vertrou op Hom altyd, o volk! Stort julle hart uit voor sy aangesig! God is 'n toevlug vir ons. Sela.10 Ja, nietigheid is die mensekinders, leuens is die aansienlikes; in die weegskaal moet hulle opgaan, almal saam is hulle minder as nietigheid.11 Vertrou nie op verdrukking en bou geen ydele hoop op rowery nie; as die vermoë aangroei, sit daar die hart nie op nie!12 Een ding het God gespreek, twee is dit wat ek gehoor het: dat die sterkte aan God behoort, [ (Psalms 62:13) en aan U, o Here, behoort die goedertierenheid; want U vergeld elkeen na sy werk. ]
