1 For the director of music, according to Jeduthun, a psalm of David.

Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.

2 Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from Him.

He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

3 Truly He is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

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

They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

5 Surely they intend to topple him from his lofty place; they delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse. Selah.

My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

6 Truly my soul, be still before God, for my hope comes from Him.

He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

7 Truly He is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8 My salvation and my honor depend on God; He is my mighty rock, my refuge.

Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

9 Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge. Selah.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

10 Surely the lowborn are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie. If weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath.

Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

11 Do not trust in extortion or put vain hope in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

12 One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: That power belongs to God.

Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

13 And with You, Lord, is unfailing love; for You reward each person according to what they have done.
