1To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Only to God is my soul in silence; from Him [comes] my salvation. 2He only [is] my rock and my salvation; [He is] my tower; I shall not be greatly moved. 3How long will you imagine mischief against a man? You will shatter him, all of you; you shall be like a bowing wall and a tottering fence. 4Surely they have plotted to cast [him] down from his great height; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse in their heart. Selah. 5My soul, be silent only to God; for my hope [is] from Him. 6He only [is] my rock and my salvation; He [is] my strong tower; I shall not be shaken. 7In God [is] my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength; my hiding-place [is] in God. 8Trust in Him at all times; you people, pour out your heart before Him; God [is] a hiding-place for us. Selah. 9Surely the sons of men [are] vanity; the sons of men [are] a lie; they go up in the scales; they [are] altogether [lighter] than vanity. 10Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if riches increase, do not set your heart [on] them. 11God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power [belongs] to God. 12Also to You, O LORD, [belongs] mercy; for You give to every man according to his work.
