| 1To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes 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; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved. | 2He alone is my rock, my deliverance, and my high tower; nothing will shake me. |
| 3How long will you attack a man? You shall be slain, all of you, Like a leaning wall and 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 only consult to cast him down from his high position; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, But they curse inwardly. 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 silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. | 5My soul, be quiet before God, for from him comes my hope. |
| 6He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. | 6He alone is my rock, my deliverance, and my high tower; nothing will shake me. |
| 7In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And 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, you 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 |
| 9Surely men of low degree are a vapor, Men of high degree are a lie; If they are weighed on the scales, They are altogether lighter than vapor. | 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, Nor vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, Do not set your heart on them. | 10Don't trust in oppression or put false hope in stealing; if you become wealthy, do not set your heart on it. |
| 11God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God. | 11God spoke once, but I heard it twice, "Power belongs to God." |
| 12Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy; For You render to each one according to his work. | 12Also to you, Lord, belongs gracious love, because you reward each person according to what he does. |
