Dual Panel1For the music director <05329>, Jeduthun <03038>; a psalm <04210> of David <01732>. For God <0430> alone <0389> I patiently wait <01747>; he is the one who delivers <03444> me <05315>.
2He <01931> alone <0389> is my protector <06697> and deliverer <03444>. He is my refuge <04869>; I will not <03808> be upended <07227> <04131>.
3How <0575> long <05704> will you threaten <02050> a man <0376>? All <03605> of you are murderers <07523>, as dangerous as a leaning <05186> wall <07023> or an unstable <01760> fence <01447>.
4They spend all their time planning how to bring <05080> him down <05080>. They love to use <07521> deceit <03577>; they pronounce blessings <01288> with their mouths <06310>, but inwardly <07130> they utter curses <07043>. (Selah <05542>)
5Patiently wait <01826> for God <0430> alone, my soul <05315>! For <03588> he is the one who gives me confidence <08615>.
6He <01931> alone <0389> is my protector <06697> and deliverer <03444>. He is my refuge <04869>; I will not <03808> be upended <04131>.
7God <0430> delivers <03468> me and exalts <03519> me; God <0430> is my strong <05797> protector <06697> and my shelter <04268>.
8Trust <0982> in him at all <03605> times <06256>, you people <05971>! Pour out <08210> your hearts <03824> before <06440> him! God <0430> is our shelter <04268>! (Selah <05542>)
9Men <0120> <01121> are nothing <01892> but a mere <0389> breath; human beings <0376> <01121> are unreliable <03577>. When they are weighed <05927> in the scales <03976>, all of them <01992> together <03162> are lighter than air <01892>.
10Do not <0408> trust <0982> in what you can gain by oppression <06233>! Do not <0408> put false confidence <01891> in what you can gain by robbery <01498>! If wealth <02428> increases <05107>, do not <0408> become attached <07896> to it!
11God <0430> has declared <01696> one <0259> principle; two <08147> principles I have heard <08085>: God <0430> is strong <05797>,
12and you, O Lord <0136>, demonstrate loyal love <02617>. For <03588> you <0859> repay <07999> men <0376> for what <04639> they do <04639>.
