1 For the Chief Musician ; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. My soul waiteth in silence for God only : From him cometh my salvation.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation : He is my high tower ; I shall not be greatly moved.
3 How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence ?
4 They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity ; They delight in lies ; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. [Selah
5 My soul, wait thou in silence for God only ; For my expectation is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation : He is my high tower ; I shall not be moved.
7 With 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 : In the balances they will go up ; They are together lighter than vanity.
10 Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery : If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
11 God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God.
12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness ; For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
