| 1For the choir director; according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. My soul waits in silence for God only; From Him is my salvation. | 1My soul rests quietly only when it looks to God; from him comes my deliverance. |
| 2He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken. | 2He alone is my rock, my deliverance, and my high tower; nothing will shake me. |
| 3How long will you assail a man, That you may murder him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? | 3How long will you rage against someone? Would you attack him as if he were a leaning wall or a tottering fence? |
| 4They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouth, But inwardly they curse. Selah. | 4They plan to cast him down from his exalted position. They delight in lies; their mouth utters blessings, while their heart is cursing. Interlude |
| 5My soul, wait in silence for God only, For my hope is from Him. | 5My soul, be quiet before God, for from him comes my hope. |
| 6He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be shaken. | 6He alone is my rock, my deliverance, and my high tower; nothing will shake me. |
| 7On God my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. | 7I rely on God who is my deliverance and my glory; he is my strong rock, and my refuge is in God. |
| 8Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah. | 8People, in every situation put your trust in God; pour out your heart before him; for God is a refuge for us. Interlude |
| 9Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie; In the balances they go up; They are together lighter than breath. | 9Human beings are a mere vapor, while people in high positions are not what they appear. When they are placed on the scales, they weigh nothing; even when weighed together, they are less than nothing. |
| 10Do not trust in oppression And do not vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them. | 10Don't trust in oppression or put false hope in stealing; if you become wealthy, do not set your heart on it. |
| 11Once God has spoken; Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God; | 11God spoke once, but I heard it twice, "Power belongs to God." |
| 12And lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord, For You recompense a man according to his work. | 12Also to you, Lord, belongs gracious love, because you reward each person according to what he does. |
