1In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.
1A psalm of David when he was in the desert of Edom.
2He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.
2O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
3How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?
3In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
4They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. Selah
4For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips shall praise.
5Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.
5Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
6He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.
6Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
7My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God.
7If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:
8Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge. Selah
8Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:
9Lowborn men are but a vapor, the exalted but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.
9My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.
10Place no trust in extortion, or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.
10But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
11God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God,
11They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
12and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man according to his deeds.
12But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
