To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. 1 Truly my mind waits upon God: from him comes my salvation.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.
3 How long will you imagine mischief against a man? You shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall you be, and as a tottering fence.
4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellence: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5 My mind, be submitted to God; for my hope is from Him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defense; I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my Salvation and my Glory: the Rock of my Strength, and my Shelter, is in God.
8 Trust in Him at all times; you people, pour out your mind before Him: God is a Shelter for us. Selah.
9 Surely men of low degree are vapor, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vapor.
10 Don't trust in oppression, and don't become vain in robbery: if riches increase, don't set your mind upon them.
11 God has spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs to God.
12 Also to you, Oh Lord, belongs mercy: for you render to every man according to his work.
