1For the leader. Set in the style of Y'dutun. A psalm of David: My soul waits in silence for God alone; my salvation comes from him.
2He alone is my rock and salvation, my stronghold; I won't be greatly moved.
3How long will you assail a person in order to murder him, all of you, as if he were a sagging wall or a shaky fence?
4They only want to shake him from his height, they take delight in lying with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. (Selah)
5My soul, wait in silence for God alone, because my hope comes from him.
6He alone is my rock and salvation, my stronghold; I won't be moved.
7My safety and honor rest on God. My strong rock and refuge are in God.
8Trust in him, people, at all times; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. (Selah)
9Ordinary folks are merely a breath and important people a sham; if you lay them on a balance-scale, they go up both together are lighter than nothing.
10Don't put your trust in extortion, don't put false hopes in robbery; even if wealth increases, don't set your heart on it.
11God has spoken once, I have heard it twice: strength belongs to God.
12Also to you, Adonai, belongs grace; for you reward all as their deeds deserve.
