- {To the chief Musician.
On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.} Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.
- 2
- He only is my rock and my salvation;
my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.
- 3
- How long will ye assail a man;
will ye [seek], all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?
- 4
- They only consult to thrust [him] down from his excellency;
they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah.
- 5
- Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully;
for my expectation is from him.
- 6
- He only is my rock and my salvation;
my high fortress: I shall not be moved.
- 7
- With God is my salvation and my glory;
the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
- 8
- Confide in him at all times, ye people;
pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah.
- 9
- Men of low degree are only vanity;
men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together [lighter] than vanity.
- 10
- Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery;
if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.
- 11
- Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength [belongeth] unto God.
- 12
- And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness;
for *thou* renderest to every man according to his work.
