Dual Panel1For the leader: according to Jeduthun: a psalm: for David FOR God alone I wait silently; my deliverance comes from him.
2He only is my rock of deliverance, my strong tower, so that I stand unshaken.
3How long will you assail with your threats, all beating against your prey as if he were a leaning wall, a toppling fence?
4They aim to topple him from his height. They take delight in lying; they bless him with their lips, but curse him in their hearts. [Selah]
5For God alone I wait silently; my hope comes from him.
6He alone is my rock of deliverance, my strong tower, so that I am unshaken.
7On God my safety and my honour depend, God who is my rock of refuge and my shelter.
8Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts before him; God is our shelter. [Selah]
9The common people are mere empty air, while people of rank are a sham; when placed on the scales they rise, all of them lighter than air.
10Put no trust in extortion, no false confidence in robbery; though wealth increases, do not set your heart on it.
11One thing God has spoken, two things I have learnt: “Power belongs to God”
12and “Unfailing love is yours, Lord”; you reward everyone according to what he has done.
