Psalms

For the leader; on Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

Truly my soul waits quietly for God,from whom my deliverance comes.

Truly [God] is my rock and deliverance,my haven; I shall never be shaken.

How long will all of you attackaattack Meaning of Heb. uncertain. someone,to crushbcrush Meaning of Heb. uncertain. them, as though they werea leaning wall, a tottering fence?

You lay plans to topple them from their status;you delight in falsehood;you bless with your mouths,while inwardly you curse.cYou…your…you Heb. “They…their…they.”    Selah.

Truly, wait quietly for God, O my soul,from whom comes my hope.

[God] is my rock and deliverance,my haven; I shall not be shaken.

I rely on God, my deliverance and glory,my rock of strength;in God is my refuge.

Trust in [God] at all times, O people;pour out your hearts before the Holy One;God is our refuge.    Selah.

Humans are mere breath;mortals, an illusiondHumans are mere breath; / mortals, an illusion Or “The common people are mere breath; / even the notables, an illusion—”; or “Mortals are mere breath; / partisans, an illusion—.”—placed on a scale all together,they weigh even less than a breath.

Do not trust in violence,or put false hopes in robbery;if force bears fruit pay it no mind.

One thing God has spoken;two things have I heard:that might belongs to God,

and faithfulness is Yours, O my Sovereign,to reward everyone according to their deeds.
