JPS Tanakh 1917 1For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. 2Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; From Him cometh my salvation.
3He only is my rock and my salvation, My high tower, I shall not be greatly moved.
4How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him, all of you, As a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
5They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.
Selah 6Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul; For from Him cometh my hope.
7He only is my rock and my salvation, My high tower, I shall not be moved.
8Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
9Trust in Him at all times, ye people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.
Selah 10Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; If they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.
11Trust not in oppression, And put not vain hope in robbery; If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
12God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this: That strength belongeth unto God;
13Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; For Thou renderest to every man according to his work. JPS Tanakh 1917: THE HOLY SCRIPTURES ACCORDING TO THE MASORETIC TEXT. A NEW TRANSLATION. Jewish Publication Society. 1917. Bible Hub |
