Waiting for God

For the chief musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A psalm of David. I wait in silence for God alone; my salvation comes from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.

How long, all of you, will you attack a man, that you may tip him over like a leaning wall or a shaky fence?

They consult with him only to bring him down from his honorable position; they love to tell lies; they bless him with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse him. Selah.

I wait in silence for God alone; for my hopes are set on him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be moved.

With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength and my refuge are in God.

Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Surely men of low standing are vanity, and men of high standing are a lie; they will weigh lightly in the scales; weighed together, they are lighter than nothing.

Do not trust in oppression or robbery; and do not hope uselessly in riches, for they will bear no fruit; do not fix your heart on them.

God has spoken once, twice have I heard this: Power belongs to God.

Also to you, Lord, belongs covenant faithfulness, for you pay back every person for what he has done.

Waiting for God

My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.

He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.

How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.

My salvation and my honor is with God. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.

Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.

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

Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
