1 For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David. My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him.
2He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I shall never be shaken.
3How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down— this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
4They fully intend to topple him from his lofty place; they take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse. Selah
5Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.
6He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I shall not be shaken.
7My salvation and my honour depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Selah
9Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath.
10Do not trust in extortion or take pride in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
11One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong,
12and that you, O Lord, are loving. Surely you will reward each person according to what he has done.
