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.
