1 For the music director, on Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
2 My soul, wait in stillness, only for God— from Him comes my salvation.
3 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress—I will never be moved.
4 How long will all of you assault a man, to crush him, like a leaning wall, a fence to be torn down?
5 They only plot to topple him from his rank. Delighting in falsehood, they bless with their mouth, but inwardly they curse. Selah
6 My soul, wait in stillness, only for God— for from Him comes my expectation.
7 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my strong tower—I will not be moved.
8 On God, my salvation and my glory is the rock of my strength. My refuge is in God.
9 Trust in Him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart in His presence. God is our refuge. Selah
10 Sons of Adam are a vapor, sons of man are an illusion. In balanced scales they go up— altogether they are less than a breath.
11 Do not trust in extortion, and do not put vain hope in plunder. Though these things increase riches, do not set your heart on them.
12 Once God has spoken, twice I have heard this: might belongs to God.
13 Also Yours, O Lord, is lovingkindness. For You reward a man for his work.
