1 For the leader; ‘al Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
2 My soul rests in God alone,from whom comes my salvation.
3 God alone is my rock and salvation,my fortress; I shall never fall.
4 How long will you set yourself against a man?You shall all be destroyed,Like a sagging wallor a tumbled down fence!
5 Even highly placed peopleplot to overthrow him.They delight in lies;they bless with their mouths,but inwardly they curse.Selah
6 My soul, be at rest in God alone,from whom comes my hope.
7 God alone is my rock and my salvation,my fortress; I shall not fall.
8 My deliverance and honor are with God,my strong rock;my refuge is with God.
9 Trust God at all times, my people!Pour out your hearts to God our refuge!Selah
10 Mortals are a mere breath,the sons of man but an illusion;On a balance they rise;together they weigh nothing.
11 Do not trust in extortion;in plunder put no empty hope.On wealth that increases,do not set your heart.
12 One thing God has said;two things I have heard:Strength belongs to God;
13 so too, my Lord, does mercy,For you repay each manaccording to his deeds.
