1 To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Only to God is my soul in silence; from Him [comes] my salvation.

2 He only [is] my rock and my salvation; [He is] my tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

3 How long will you imagine mischief against a man? You will shatter him, all of you; you shall be like a bowing wall and a tottering fence.

4 Surely they have plotted to cast [him] down from his great height; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse in their heart. Selah.

5 My soul, be silent only to God; for my hope [is] from Him.

6 He only [is] my rock and my salvation; He [is] my strong tower; I shall not be shaken.

7 In God [is] my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength; my hiding-place [is] in God.

8 Trust in Him at all times; you people, pour out your heart before Him; God [is] a hiding-place for us. Selah.

9 Surely the sons of men [are] vanity; the sons of men [are] a lie; they go up in the scales; they [are] altogether [lighter] than vanity.

10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if riches increase, do not set your heart [on] them.

11 God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power [belongs] to God.

12 Also to You, O LORD, [belongs] mercy; for You give to every man according to his work.
