Waiting on God
For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1In God alone my soul finds rest;
my salvation comes from Him.
2He alone is my rock and my salvation.
He is my fortress;
I will never be shaken.
3How long will you threaten a man?
Will all of you throw him down
like a leaning wall
or a tottering fence?
4They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch;
they delight in lies;
with their mouths they bless,
but inwardly they curse.
Selah
5Rest in God alone, O my soul,
for my hope comes from Him.
6He alone is my rock and my salvation;
He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.
7My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock;
my refuge is in God.
8Trust in Him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts before Him.
God is our refuge.
Selah
9Lowborn men are but a vapor;
the exalted are but a lie.
Weighed on the scale, they go up;
together they are but a vapor.
10Place no trust in extortion
or false hope in stolen goods.
If your riches increase,
do not set your heart upon them.
11God has spoken once;
I have heard this twice:
that power belongs to God,
12and loving devotion to You, O Lord.
For You will repay each man
according to his deeds.a
