- <To the chief music-maker.
After Jeduthun.
A Psalm.
Of David.>
My soul, put all your faith in God;
for from him comes my salvation.
- 2
- He only is my Rock and my salvation;
he is my high tower;
I will not be greatly moved.
- 3
- How long will you go on designing evil against a man?
running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?
- 4
- Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour;
their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts.
(Selah.)
- 5
- My soul, put all your faith in God;
for from him comes my hope.
- 6
- He only is my Rock and my salvation;
he is my high tower;
I will not be greatly moved.
- 7
- In God is my salvation, and my glory;
the Rock of my strength, and my safe place.
- 8
- Have faith in him at all times, you people;
let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place.
(Selah.)
- 9
- Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem;
if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath.
- 10
- Have no faith in the rewards of evil-doing, or in profits wrongly made: if your wealth is increased, do not put your hopes on it.
- 11
- Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's:
- 12
- And mercy, O Lord, is yours, for you give to every man the reward of his work.
