1 M y soul is quiet and waits for God alone. He is the One Who saves me.

To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of David. Only -- toward God my soul silent, From Him my salvation.

2 H e alone is my rock and the One Who saves me. He is my strong place. I will not be shaken.

Only -- He my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved.

3 H ow long will all of you go against a man to break him down, that you may kill him, like a wall that no longer stands straight, like a fence ready to fall?

Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are destroyed all of you, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.

4 T hey have talked only about throwing him down from his high place. They find joy in lies. They pray with their mouth that good will come. But inside they hope that bad will come instead.

Only -- from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. Selah.

5 M y soul is quiet and waits for God alone. My hope comes from Him.

Only -- for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him my hope.

6 H e alone is my rock and the One Who saves me. He is my strong place. I will not be shaken.

Only -- He my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.

7 M y being safe and my honor rest with God. My safe place is in God, the rock of my strength.

On God my salvation, and my honour, The rock of my strength, my refuge in God.

8 T rust in Him at all times, O people. Pour out your heart before Him. God is a safe place for us.

Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth before Him your heart, God a refuge for us. Selah.

9 M en who are not important come to nothing. Men who are important are a lie. When weighed they go up. Together they weigh less than a breath.

Only -- vanity the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity lighter.

10 D o not get money in a wrong way or be proud in stolen things. If you get more riches, do not set your heart on them.

Trust not in oppression, And in robbery become not vain, Wealth -- when it increaseth -- set not the heart.

11 G od has spoken once. I have heard this twice: Power belongs to God.

Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That `strength with God.'

12 A nd loving-kindness belongs to You, O Lord. For You pay every man by the work he has done.

And with Thee, O Lord, kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!
