1 “For the leader of the music of the Jeduthunites, A psalm of David.” Truly my soul resteth on God alone; From him cometh my deliverance!
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my safeguard, I shall not wholly fall!
3 How long will ye continue to assault a single man? How long will ye all seek to destroy me, Like a bending wall, or a tottering fence?
4 They study how to cast me down from my eminence; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse.
5 My soul, rest thou on God alone, For from him cometh my hope!
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my safeguard, —I shall not fall.
7 From God cometh my help and my glory: My strong rock, my refuge, is God.
8 Trust in him at all times, ye people! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our refuge!
9 Truly men of low degree are vanity, And men of high degree are a lie; Placed in the balance, They are all lighter than vanity.
10 Trust not in extortion; Place no vain hopes in rapine! If riches increase, set not your heart upon them!
11 Once hath God promised, twice have I heard it, That power belongeth unto God.
12 To thee also, O Lord! belongeth mercy; For thou dost render to every man according to his work!
