English Translation
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 were
a 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.
