Psalms

For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1In God alone my soul finds rest;my salvation comes from Him.

2He alone is my rock and my salvation.He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.

3How long will you threaten a man?Will all of you throw him downlike a leaning wallor a tottering fence?

4They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch;they delight in lies;with their mouths they bless,but inwardly they curse.Selah

5Rest in God alone, O my soul,for my hope comes from Him.

6He alone is my rock and my salvation;He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.

7My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock;my refuge is in God.

8Trust in Him at all times, O people;pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge.Selah

9Lowborn men are but a vapor;the exalted are but a lie.Weighed on the scale, they go up;together they are but a vapor.

10Place no trust in extortionor false hope in stolen goods.If your riches increase,do not set your heart upon them.

11God has spoken once;I have heard this twice:that power belongs to God,

12and loving devotion to You, O Lord.For You will repay each manaccording to his deeds.

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

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

2He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress.I will never be greatly shaken.

3How long will you assault a man?Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place.They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

5My soul, wait in silence for God alone,for my expectation is from him.

6He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.I will not be shaken.

7My salvation and my honor is with God.The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8Trust in him at all times, you people.Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.

9Surely 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.

10Don’t trust in oppression.Don’t become vain in robbery.If riches increase,don’t set your heart on them.

11God has spoken once;twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

12Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness,for you reward every man according to his work.
