1 | For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthan. A Psalm of David. My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From him [cometh] my salvation. |
2 | He only is my rock and my salvation: [He is] my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved. |
3 | How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay [him], all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? |
4 | They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah |
5 | My soul, wait thou in silence for God only; For my expectation is from him. |
6 | He only is my rock and my salvation: [He is] my high tower; I shall not be moved. |
7 | With 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: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity. |
10 | Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart [thereon]. |
11 | God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God. |
12 | Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness; For thou renderest to every man according to his work. |
