 1 To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Only to God is my soul in silence. My salvation comes from Him. 2 He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my tower and I shall not be greatly moved. 3 How long will you imagine mischief against a man? You will shatter him, all of you. You shall be like a bowing wall and a tottering fence. 4 Surely they have plotted to cast him down from his great height. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse in their heart. Selah. 5 My soul, be silent only to God. For my hope is from Him. 6 He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my strong tower. I will not be shaken. 7 In God is my salvation and my glory. The rock of my strength. My hiding place is in God. 8 Trust in Him at all times, people. Pour out your heart before Him. God is a hiding place for us. Selah. 9 Surely men of low degree are vanity and men of high degree are a lie to be laid in the scales. They are altogether lighter than vanity. 10 Do not trust in oppression and do not become vain in robbery. If riches increase, do not set your heart on them. 11 God has spoken once. Twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God. 12 Also to you, O Lord, belongs mercy. For you give to every man according to his work.
