For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

     1             Truly my soul finds rest in God;

         my salvation comes from him.

     2             Truly he is my rock and my salvation;

         he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

     3             How long will you assault me?

         Would all of you throw me down — ​

         this leaning wall, this tottering fence?

     4             Surely they intend to topple me

         from my lofty place;

         they take delight in lies.

                  With their mouths they bless,

         but in their hearts they curse.

     5             Yes, my soul, find rest in God;

         my hope comes from him.

     6             Truly he is my rock and my salvation;

         he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

     7             My salvation and my honor depend on God;

         he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

     8             Trust in him at all times, you people;

         pour out your hearts to him,

         for God is our refuge.

     9             Surely the lowborn are but a breath,

         the highborn are but a lie.

                  If weighed on a balance, they are nothing;

         together they are only a breath.

     10            Do not trust in extortion

         or put vain hope in stolen goods;

                  though your riches increase,

         do not set your heart on them.

     11            One thing God has spoken,

         two things I have heard:

                  “Power belongs to you, God,

  12     and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;

                  and, “You reward everyone

         according to what they have done.”
