Waiting for God

1
To the excelletn musician Ieduthun. A Psalme of David. Yet my soule keepeth silence vnto God: of him commeth my saluation.
2
Yet he is my strength and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not much be mooued.
3
How long wil ye imagine mischiefe against a man? ye shalbe all slaine: ye shalbe as a bowed wall, or as a wall shaken.
4
Yet they consult to cast him downe from his dignitie: their delight is in lies, they blesse with their mouthes, but curse with their hearts. Selah.
5
Yet my soule keepe thou silence vnto God: for mine hope is in him.
6
Yet is hee my strength, and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not be mooued.
7
In God is my saluation and my glory, the rocke of my strength: in God is my trust.
8
Trust in him alway, ye people: powre out your hearts before him, for God is our hope. Selah.
9
Yet the children of men are vanitie, the chiefe men are lies: to lay them vpon a balance they are altogether lighter then vanitie.
10
Trust not in oppression nor in robberie: be not vaine: if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
11
God spake once or twise, I haue heard it, that power belongeth vnto God,
12
And to thee, O Lord, mercie: for thou rewardest euery one according to his worke.

Waiting for God

1
My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.
2
He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.
3
How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
4
They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5
My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.
6
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.
7
My salvation and my honor is with God. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8
Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9
Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.
10
Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.
11
God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.
12
Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
