Waiting on God
For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1In God alone my soul finds rest;my salvation comes from Him. 2He alone is my rock and my salvation.He is my fortress;I will never be shaken.
3How long will you threaten a man?Will all of you throw him downlike a leaning wallor a tottering fence? 4They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch;they delight in lies;with their mouths they bless,but inwardly they curse.Selah 5Rest in God alone, O my soul,for my hope comes from Him. 6He alone is my rock and my salvation;He is my fortress; I will not be shaken. 7My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock;my refuge is in God. 8Trust in Him at all times, O people;pour out your hearts before Him.God is our refuge.Selah 9Lowborn men are but a vapor;the exalted are but a lie.Weighed on the scale, they go up;together they are but a vapor. 10Place no trust in extortionor false hope in stolen goods.If your riches increase,do not set your heart upon them.
11God has spoken once;I have heard this twice:that power belongs to God, 12and loving devotion to You, O Lord.For You will repay each manaccording to his deeds.footnote a
