English Standard VersionHolman Christian Standard Bible
1For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.1For the choir director: according to Jeduthun. A Davidic psalm. I am at rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him.
2He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.2He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I will never be shaken.
3How long will all of you attack a man to batter him, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?3How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you attack as if he were a leaning wall or a tottering stone fence?
4They only plan to thrust him down from his high position. They take pleasure in falsehood. They bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah4They only plan to bring him down from his high position. They take pleasure in lying; they bless with their mouths, but they curse inwardly. Selah
5For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.5Rest in God alone, my soul, for my hope comes from Him.
6He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.6He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I will not be shaken.
7On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God.7My salvation and glory depend on God, my strong rock. 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. Selah8Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge. Selah
9Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath.9Men are only a vapor; exalted men, an illusion. Weighed in the scales, they go up; together they are less than a vapor.
10Put no trust in extortion; set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them.10Place no trust in oppression, or false hope in robbery. If wealth increases, pay no attention to it.
11Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God,11God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: strength belongs to God,
12and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For you will render to a man according to his work.12and faithful love belongs to You, LORD. For You repay each according to his works.
