1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him [cometh] my salvation.

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From him [cometh] my salvation.

2 He only [is] my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.

He only is my rock and my salvation: [He is] my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall [shall ye be], [and as] a tottering fence.

How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay [him], all of you, Like a leaning wall, like 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 thou only upon God; for my expectation [is] from him.

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; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God [is] a refuge for us. (Selah)

Trust in him at all times, ye 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.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together 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 hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power [belongeth] to God.
