1 For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
2 Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; From Him cometh my salvation.
3 He only is my rock and my salvation, My high tower, I shall not be greatly moved.
4 How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him, all of you, As a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
5 They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah
6 Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul; For from Him cometh my hope.
7 He only is my rock and my salvation, My high tower, I shall not be moved.
8 Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
9 Trust in Him at all times, ye people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
10 Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; If they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.
11 Trust not in oppression, And put not vain hope in robbery; If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
12 God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this: That strength belongeth unto God;
13 Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; For Thou renderest to every man according to his work.
