To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
1
Truly my soul waiteth upon God:From him cometh my salvation.
2
He only is my rock and my salvation;He is my defence; 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. 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 altogether 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 power belongeth unto God.
12
Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy:For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
