To the chief Musician, to Yedutun, A Psalm of Dawid.

1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God (Elohim); from Him cometh my salvation.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

3 How long will you imagine mischief against a man? You shall be slain all of you; as a bowing wall shall you be, and as a tottering fence.

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 My soul, wait only upon God (Elohim); for my expectation is from Him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defence; I shall not be moved.

7 In God (Elohim) is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God (Elohim).

8 Trust in Him at all times; you people, pour out your heart before Him; God (Elohim) is a refuge for us. Selah.

9 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 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

11 God (Elohim) hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God (Elohim).

12 Also unto You, O Lord (Adonai), belongeth mercy; for You renderest to every man according to his work.
