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, {N} as a leaning wall, a tottering fence? 5 They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies; {N} 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; {N} God is a refuge for us. Selah 10 Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; {N} 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; {N} 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. {P}
