^1aTo the choirmaster on Jeduthun.↑

A Psalm of David.

^1bSurely my being enjoys quietness towards God;

From him is my salvation.

²Surely he is my rock and my salvation;

My high stronghold

Where I will not falter, with great assurance.

³How long will you men beleaguer a man?

You will all be killed.

You are like a leaning wall

And like a buckling fence.

⁴Surely they take counsel

As to how to thrust a man out of his exalted position.

They take pleasure in falsehood;

With the mouth they bless,

But inwardly they curse.

Selah.

⁵Surely I must be inwardly quiet towards God,

For from him is my hope.

⁶Surely he is my rock and my salvation

– My high stronghold where I will not be shaken.

⁷On God rests my salvation and my glory

– On the rock of my strength.

My refuge is in God.

⁸Trust in him at all times, O people;

Pour out your heart before him.

God is a refuge for us.

Selah.

⁹Surely the sons of Adam are vanity

– The sons of man are false.

In the balance they rise;

They are altogether constituted from vanity.

¹⁰Do not trust in the proceeds of oppression,

And do not act vainly for plunder.

If wealth increases,

Do not set your heart on it.

¹¹Once God spoke;

This second time I heard it,

That strength belongs to God.

¹²And kindness belongs to you, O Lord^*,
