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.

1To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. — A Psalm of David. Only — toward God [is] my soul silent, From Him [is] my salvation.

2Only — He [is] my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved.

3Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are destroyed all of you, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.

4Only — from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. Selah.

5Only — for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him [is] my hope.

6Only — He [is] my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.

7On God [is] my salvation, and my honour, The rock of my strength, my refuge [is] in God.

8Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth before Him your heart, God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.

9Only — vanity [are] the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity [are] lighter.

10Trust not in oppression, And in robbery become not vain, Wealth — when it increaseth — set not the heart.

11Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That 'strength [is] with God.'

12And with Thee, O Lord, [is] kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!
