Waiting for God

1
TO THE OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF DAVID. Toward God alone [is] my soul silent, || My salvation [is] from Him.
2
He alone [is] my rock, and my salvation, || My tower, I am not much moved.
3
Until when do you devise mischief against a man? All of you are destroyed, || As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.
4
Only—from his excellence || They have consulted to drive away, || They enjoy a lie, they bless with their mouth, || And revile with their heart. Selah.
5
For God alone, be silent, O my soul, || For my hope [is] from Him.
6
He alone [is] my rock and my salvation, || My tower, I am not moved.
7
On God [is] my salvation, and my glory, || The rock of my strength, my refuge [is] in God.
8
Trust in Him at all times, O people, || Pour forth your heart before Him, || God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.
9
Surely vanity the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up || They [are] lighter than a breath.
10
Do not trust in oppression, || And do not become vain in robbery, || Do not set the heart [on] wealth when it increases.
11
Once has God spoken, twice I heard this, || That “strength [is] with God.”
12
And with You, O Lord, [is] kindness, || For You repay to each, || According to his work!

Waiting for God

1
My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.
2
He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.
3
How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
4
They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5
My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.
6
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.
7
My salvation and my honor is with God. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8
Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9
Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.
10
Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.
11
God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.
12
Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
