For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by David.

1 My soul rests in God alone.

My salvation is from him.

2 He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress.

I will never be greatly shaken.

3 How long will you assault a man?

Would all of you throw him down,

like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place.

They delight in lies.

They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone,

for my expectation is from him.

6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.

I will not be shaken.

7 My salvation and my honor is with God.

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 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.

10 Don’t trust in oppression.

Don’t become vain in robbery.

If riches increase,

don’t set your heart on them.

11 God has spoken once;

twice I have heard this,

that power belongs to God.

12 Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness,

for you reward every man according to his work.

1 To the Overcomer, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. Only in God does my soul rest; from him [comes] my saving health.

2 He only [is] my rock and my saving health; [he is] my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? Shall ye murder each other [until ye are] as a bowing wall [and as] a tottering fence?

4 They only consult to cast [him] down from his greatness; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse in their inward parts. Selah.

5 My soul, rest thou only in God, for my hope [is] from him.

6 He only [is] my rock and my saving health; [he is] my defence; I shall not be moved.

7 In God [is] my saving health and my glory; the rock of my strength [and] my refuge [is] in God.

8 Wait in him at all times; [ye] peoples, pour out your heart before him; God [is] our refuge. Selah.

9 Surely the sons of Adam [are] vanity, [and] the sons of nobles [are] a lie; to be laid in the balance, they [are] altogether [lighter] than vanity.

10 Trust not in violence and become not vain in the taking of spoil; if riches increase, set not your heart [upon them].

11 God has spoken once; twice have I heard this that power [belongs] unto God.

12 Also unto thee, O Lord, [belongs] mercy, for thou renderest to every man according to his work.:
