1 |
To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. A Psalm. Of David.
My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my salvation. --
|
2 |
He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved. --
|
3 |
How long will you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling? --
|
4 |
Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (Selah.) --
|
5 |
My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my hope. --
|
6 |
He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved. --
|
7 |
In God is my salvation, and my glory; the Rock of my strength, and my safe place. --
|
8 |
Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah.) --
|
9 |
Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath. --
|
10 |
Have no faith in the rewards of evil-doing, or in profits wrongly made: if your wealth is increased, do not put your hopes on it. --
|
11 |
Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's: --
|
12 |
And mercy, O Lord, is yours, for you give to every man the reward of his work. --
