1: (For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthan. A Psalm by David.) 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 have I heard this, That power belongs to God. 12: Also to you, Lord, belongs lovingkindness, For you reward every man according to his work.
