God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.
For the choir director; ACf 1 Chr 16:41; 25:1; Ps 39 and 77 titlesaccording to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1 APs 33:20My soul waits in silence for God only;
From Him BPs 37:39is my salvation.
2 He only is my APs 89:26rock and my salvation,
My BPs 59:17; 62:6stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.
 
3 How long will you assail a man,
That you may murder him, all of you,
Like a AIs 30:13leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
4 They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position;
They APs 4:2delight in falsehood;
They BPs 28:3; 55:21bless with 1Lit histheir mouth,
But inwardly they curse. 2Selah may mean: Pause, Crescendo or Musical interludeSelah.
 
5 My soul, APs 62:1wait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him.
6 He only is APs 62:2my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
7 On God my APs 85:9; Jer 3:23salvation and my glory rest;
The rock of my strength, my BPs 46:1refuge is in God.
8 APs 37:3, 5; 52:8; Is 26:4Trust in Him at all times, O people;
B1 Sam 1:15; Ps 42:4; Lam 2:19Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah.
 
9 Men of APs 49:2low degree are only BJob 7:16; Ps 39:5; Is 40:17vanity and men of rank are a CPs 116:11lie;
In the DIs 40:15balances they go up;
They are together lighter than breath.
10 AIs 30:12Do not trust in oppression
And do not 1Lit become vain in robberyvainly hope in BIs 61:8; Ezek 22:29; Nah 3:1robbery;
If riches increase, CJob 31:25; Ps 49:6; 52:7; Mark 10:24; Luke 12:15; 1 Tim 6:10do not set your heart upon them.
 
11 1Or One thingOnce God has AJob 33:14; 40:5spoken;
2Or These two things I have heardTwice I have heard this:
That BPs 59:17; Rev 19:1power belongs to God;
12 And lovingkindness APs 86:5; 103:8; 130:7is Yours, O Lord,
For You BJob 34:11; Ps 28:4; Jer 17:10; Matt 16:27; Rom 2:6; 1 Cor 3:8; Rev 2:23recompense a man according to his work.
