Trust in God Alone
For the choir director:according to Jeduthun.a A Davidic psalm.
1I am at rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from Him.b
2He alone is my rock and my salvation,c
my stronghold;I will never be shaken.d
3How long will you threaten a man?
Will all of you attacke
as if he were a leaning wall
or a tottering stone fence?f
4They only plan to bring him down
from his high position.
They take pleasure in lying;
they bless with their mouths,
but they curse inwardly.g•Selah
5Rest in God alone,my soul,
for my hope comes from Him.h
6He alone is my rock and my salvation,i
my stronghold;I will not be shaken.j
7My salvation and glory depend on God,my strong rock.
My refuge is in God.k
8Trust in Him at all times,you people;
pour out your hearts before Him.
God is our refuge.lSelah
9•Men are only a vapor;
exalted men,an illusion.
Weighed in the scales,they go up;
together they are less than a vapor.m
10Place no trust in oppression,
or false hope in robbery.
If wealth increases,
pay no attention to it.n,o
11God has spoken once;
I have heard this twice:
strength belongs to God,p
12and faithful love belongs to You,LORD.
For You repay each according to his works.q
