To the Overcomer, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
1 ¶ Only in God does my soul rest; from him comes my saving health.
2 He only is my rock and my saving health; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? Shall ye murder each other until ye are as a bowing wall and as a tottering fence?
4 They only consult to cast him down from his greatness; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse in their inward parts. Selah.
5 My soul, rest thou only in God, for my hope is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my saving health; he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my saving health and my glory; the rock of my strength and my refuge is in God.
8 ¶ Wait in him at all times; ye peoples, pour out your heart before him; God is our refuge. Selah.
9 Surely the sons of Adam are vanity, and the sons of nobles are a lie; to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10 Trust not in violence and become not vain in the taking of spoil; if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11 God has spoken once; twice have I heard this that power belongs unto God.
12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongs mercy, for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
