NEW AMERICAN BIBLEDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 For the leader; al Jeduthun. A psalm of David.1 Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David.
2 My soul rests in God alone, from whom comes my salvation.2 Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.
3 God alone is my rock and salvation, my secure height; I shall never fall.3 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.
4 How long will you set upon people, all of you beating them down, As though they were a sagging fence or a battered wall?4 How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.
5 Even from my place on high they plot to dislodge me. They delight in lies; they bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah5 But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.
6 My soul, be at rest in God alone, from whom comes my hope.6 But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.
7 God alone is my rock and my salvation, my secure height; I shall not fall.7 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.
8 My safety and glory are with God, my strong rock and refuge.8 In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
9 Trust God at all times, my people! Pour out your hearts to God our refuge! Selah9 Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.
10 Mortals are a mere breath, the powerful but an illusion; On a balance they rise; together they are lighter than air.10 But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.
11 Do not trust in extortion; in plunder put no empty hope. Though wealth increase, do not set your heart upon it.11 Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.
12 One thing God has said; two things I have heard: Power belongs to God;12 God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,
13 3) so too, Lord, does kindness, And you render to each of us according to our deeds.13 and mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
