1. "To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David." Truly my soul waits for 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 tilting 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 soul, wait only for God; for my expectation 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 refuge, is in God.
8. Trust in him at all times; you 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: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10. Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11. God has spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs to God.
12. Also to you, O Lord, belongs mercy: for you return to every man according to his work.
