1{To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.} Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.

2He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.

3How long will ye assail a man; will ye seek, all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?

4They only consult to thrust him down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah.

5Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.

6He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.

7With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

8Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah.

9Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together lighter than vanity.

10Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.

11Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength belongeth unto God.

12And unto thee, O Lord, belongeth loving-kindness; for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
