Waiting on God

For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

In God alone my soul finds rest;

my salvation comes from Him.

2 

He alone is my rock and my salvation.

[He is] my fortress;

I will never be shaken

3 

How long will you threaten a man?

Will all of you throw him down

like a leaning wall

or a tottering fence?

4 

They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch;

they delight in lies;

with their mouths they bless,

but inwardly they curse Selah

5 

Rest in God alone, O my soul,

for my hope comes from Him.

6 

He alone is my rock and my salvation;

[He is] my fortress; I will not be shaken.

7 

My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock;

my refuge is in God.

8 

Trust in Him at all times, O people;

pour out your hearts before Him.

God is our refuge Selah

9 

Lowborn men [are] but a vapor;

the exalted [are] but a lie.

Weighed on the scale, they go up;

together they are but a vapor.

10 

Place no trust in extortion

or false hope in stolen goods.

If your riches increase,

do not set your heart [upon them].

11 

God has spoken once;

I have heard this twice:

that power belongs to God,

12 

and loving devotion to You, O Lord.

For You will repay each man

according to his deeds.[fn]
