| 1 ¶ To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. Truly1 my soul waiteth2 upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
|
|
| 2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence;3 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.4 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 altogether5 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 power6 belongeth unto God.
|
|
| 12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
