Waiting on God

For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun (praising). A Psalm of David (beloved).

1 In God {Elohim} alone my soul finds rest;

my salvation comes from Him.

2He alone is my rock and my salvation.

He is my fortress (height);

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 {Elohim} alone, O my soul,

for my hope comes from Him.

6He alone is my rock and my salvation;

He is my fortress (height); I will not be shaken.

7My salvation and my honor rest on God {Elohim}, my strong rock;

my refuge is in God.

8Trust in Him at all times, O people;

pour out your⁺ hearts before Him.

God {Elohim} 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 {Elohim} has spoken once;

I have heard this twice:

that power belongs to God,

12and loving devotion to You, O Lord {Adonai}.

For You will repay each man

according to his deeds <Rom 2:6>.a
