Verses 1-12 - For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

1. My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him.

2. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

3. How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down-- this leaning wall, this tottering fence?

4. They fully intend to topple him from his lofty place; they take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse. Selah

5. Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.

6. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

7. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

8. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Selah

9. Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath.

10. Do not trust in extortion or take pride in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

11. One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong,

12. and that you, O Lord, are loving. Surely you will reward each person according to what he has done.
