To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
TRULY my soul waiteth upon God: 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 ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye 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 thou only upon God; 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 is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God 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 hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

 

1To the chiefe musician, to Ieduthun, A Psalme of Dauid. Truely my soule waiteth vpon God: from him commeth my saluation.

2He onely is my rocke and my saluation: he is my defence, I shall not be greatly moued.

3How long wil ye imagine mischiefe against a man? ye shall be slaine all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

4They onely consult to cast him downe from his excellency, they delight in lies: they blesse with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

5My soule, wait thou onely vpon God: for my expectation is from him.

6He onely is my rocke and my saluation; he is my defence; I shall not bee moued.

7In God is my saluation, and my glorie: the rocke of my strength, and my refuge is in God.

8Trust in him at all times; ye people, powre out your heart before him: God is a refuge for vs. Selah.

9Surely men of low degree are vanitie, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the ballance, they are altogether lighter then vanitie.

10Trust not in oppression, become not vaine in robberie: if riches increase, set not your heart vpon them.

11God hath spoken once; twice haue I heard this, that power belongeth vnto God.

12Also vnto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercie: for thou renderest to euery man according to his worke.

1 For the leader; ‘al Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

2 My soul rests in God alone, from whom comes my salvation.

3 God alone is my rock and salvation, my fortress; I shall never fall.

4 How long will you set yourself against a man? You shall all be destroyed,Like a sagging wall or a tumbled down fence!

5 Even highly placed people plot to overthrow him. They delight in lies; they bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse.

6 My soul, be at rest in God alone, from whom comes my hope.

7 God alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not fall.

8 My deliverance and honor are with God, my strong rock; my refuge is with God.

9 Trust God at all times, my people! Pour out your hearts to God our refuge!

10 Mortals are a mere breath, the sons of man but an illusion; On a balance they rise; together they weigh nothing.

11 Do not trust in extortion; in plunder put no empty hope. On wealth that increases, do not set your heart.

12 One thing God has said; two things I have heard: Strength belongs to God;

13 so too, my Lord, does mercy, For you repay each man according to his deeds.

A Poem of Fervid Devotion: David had a lot of trouble, but David never failed to trust in God, David had an unwavering Trust in God.

V 1,2 David is expressing confidence in the Lord in spite of opposition. His enemies may shake him, but not move him.

V 3-6 His confidence has grown, so that with God as his Rock he will not be moved at all.

 

 

V 7-10 We must continually trust in God and not men. Some trust in power, dishonesty or increased wealth, and many upright people are turned aside by riches.

 

 

 

 

V 11,12 David recognizes the power of God, and that He will justly reward.
