| 1 To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation. |
| 2 He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved. |
| 3 How long will you attack a man? You shall be slain, all of you, Like a leaning wall and a tottering fence. |
| 4 They only consult to cast him down from his high position; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, But they curse inwardly. Selah |
| 5 My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. |
| 6 He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. |
| 7 In God is my salvation and my glory; 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 a vapor, Men of high degree are a lie; If they are weighed on the scales, They are altogether lighter than vapor. |
| 10 Do not trust in oppression, Nor vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, Do not set your heart on them. |
| 11 God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God. |
| 12 Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy; For You render to each one according to his work. |
