NEW AMERICAN BIBLEKING JAMES BIBLE
1 For the leader; al Jeduthun. A psalm of David.1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
2 My soul rests in God alone, from whom comes my salvation.2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3 God alone is my rock and salvation, my secure height; I shall never fall.3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
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 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
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 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6 My soul, be at rest in God alone, from whom comes my hope.6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7 God alone is my rock and my salvation, my secure height; I shall not fall.7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 My safety and glory are with God, my strong rock and refuge.8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9 Trust God at all times, my people! Pour out your hearts to God our refuge! Selah9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10 Mortals are a mere breath, the powerful but an illusion; On a balance they rise; together they are lighter than air.10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11 Do not trust in extortion; in plunder put no empty hope. Though wealth increase, do not set your heart upon it.11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
12 One thing God has said; two things I have heard: Power belongs to God;12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
13 3) so too, Lord, does kindness, And you render to each of us according to our deeds.
