- For the Chief Musician;
after the manner of Jeduthan.
A Psalm of David.
- 1
- 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.
