God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.
For the choir director; according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
AMy soul waits in silence for God only;
From Him Bis my salvation.
He only is my Arock and my salvation,
My Bstronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.
How long will you assail a man,
That you may murder him, all of you,
Like a Aleaning wall, like a tottering fence?
They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position;
They Adelight in falsehood;
They Bbless with 1their mouth,
But inwardly they curse. 2
Selah.
My soul, Await in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him.
He only is Amy rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
On God my Asalvation and my glory rest;
The rock of my strength, my Brefuge is in God.
ATrust in Him at all times, O people;
BPour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us.
Selah.
Men of Alow degree are only Bvanity and men of rank are a Clie;
In the Dbalances they go up;
They are together lighter than breath.
10  ADo not trust in oppression
And do not 1vainly hope in Brobbery;
If riches increase, Cdo not set your heart upon them.
11  1Once God has Aspoken;
2Twice I have heard this:
That Bpower belongs to God;
12 And lovingkindness Ais Yours, O Lord,
For You Brecompense a man according to his work.
