Tap any verse to comment or suggest a better wording.

¹For the choir leader. According to Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
My soul finds rest in God alone.
My rescue comes from him. ²He alone is my rock and the one who saves me.
He is my fort.
I will never be shaken. ³How long will you threaten a man?
Will all of you throw him down,
like a leaning wall or a shaky fence? ⁴They fully plan to throw him down from his high place.
They love lies.
With their mouths they bless,
but in their hearts they curse. Selah ⁵Rest in God alone, my soul.
My hope comes from him. ⁶He alone is my rock and the one who saves me.
He is my fort.
I will not be shaken. ⁷My rescue and my honor depend on God.
He is my strong rock.
God is my safe place. ⁸Trust in him at all times, you people.
Pour out your hearts to him.
God is our safe place. Selah ⁹Common people are only a breath.
Important people are only a lie.
Put them on a scale, and they go up.
All together, they are only a breath. ¹⁰Do not trust in forcing money from others.
Do not put false hope in stolen things.
If you get richer,
do not set your heart on your riches. ¹¹God has spoken one time.
I have heard it two times:
Power belongs to God, ¹²and faithful love belongs to you, Lord.
You will pay back each person
for what he has done.
