| 1For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him. | 1My soul rests quietly only when it looks to God; from him comes my deliverance. |
| 2He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken. | 2He alone is my rock, my deliverance, and my high tower; nothing will shake me. |
| 3How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence? | 3How long will you rage against someone? Would you attack him as if he were 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 | 4They plan to cast him down from his exalted position. They delight in lies; their mouth utters blessings, while their heart is cursing. Interlude |
| 5Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him. | 5My soul, be quiet before God, for from him comes my hope. |
| 6He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken. | 6He alone is my rock, my deliverance, and my high tower; nothing will shake me. |
| 7My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God. | 7I rely on God who is my deliverance and my glory; he is my strong rock, and my refuge is in God. |
| 8Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge. Selah | 8People, in every situation put your trust in God; pour out your heart before him; for God is a refuge for us. Interlude |
| 9Lowborn men are but a vapor, the exalted but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor. | 9Human beings are a mere vapor, while people in high positions are not what they appear. When they are placed on the scales, they weigh nothing; even when weighed together, they are less than nothing. |
| 10Place no trust in extortion, or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them. | 10Don't trust in oppression or put false hope in stealing; if you become wealthy, do not set your heart on it. |
| 11God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God, | 11God spoke once, but I heard it twice, "Power belongs to God." |
| 12and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man according to his deeds. | 12Also to you, Lord, belongs gracious love, because you reward each person according to what he does. |
