1 | (To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.) Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. |
2 | He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. |
3 | 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 | 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 | My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. |
6 | He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; 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; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. |
9 | 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 | Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them. |
11 | God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. |
12 | Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work. |
