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

1 My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.

2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, 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 With God is my salvation and my honor. 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.
