^1 (0) For the leader. Set in the style of Y'dutun. A psalm of David:

^2 (1) My soul waits in silence for God alone;
my salvation comes from him.
^3 (2) He alone is my rock and salvation,
my stronghold; I won't be greatly moved.

^4 (3) How long will you assail a person
in order to murder him, all of you,
as if he were a sagging wall
or a shaky fence?

^5 (4) They only want to shake him from his height,
they take delight in lying —
with their mouths they bless,
but inwardly they curse. (Selah)

^6 (5) My soul, wait in silence for God alone,
because my hope comes from him.
^7 (6) He alone is my rock and salvation,
my stronghold; I won't be moved.

^8 (7) My safety and honor rest on God.
My strong rock and refuge are in God.
^9 (8) Trust in him, people, at all times;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us. (Selah)
^10 (9) Ordinary folks are merely a breath
and important people a sham;
if you lay them on a balance-scale, they go up —
both together are lighter than nothing.
^11 (10) Don't put your trust in extortion,
don't put false hopes in robbery;
even if wealth increases,
don't set your heart on it.

^12 (11) God has spoken once, I have heard it twice:
strength belongs to God.
^13 (12) Also to you, Adonai, belongs grace;
for you reward all as their deeds deserve.
