GOD'S WORD Translation GW
New King James Version NKJV
1 My soul waits calmly for God alone. My salvation comes from him.
1
To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation.
2 He alone is my rock and my savior--my stronghold. I cannot be severely shaken.
2
He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.
3 How long will all of you attack a person? How long will you try to murder him, as though he were a leaning wall or a sagging fence?
3
How long will you attack a man? You shall be slain, all of you, Like a leaning wall and a tottering fence.
4 They plan to force him out of his high position. They are happy to lie. They bless with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse. Selah

5 Wait calmly for God alone, my soul, because my hope comes from him.
5
My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him.
6 He alone is my rock and my savior--my stronghold. I cannot be shaken.

He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved.

9 Common people are only a whisper in the wind. Important people are only a delusion. When all of them are weighed on a scale, they amount to nothing. They are less than a whisper in the wind.
9
Surely men of low degree are a vapor, Men of high degree are a lie; If they are weighed on the scales, They are altogether lighter than vapor.
10 Do not count on extortion [to make you rich]. Do not hope to gain anything through robbery. When riches increase, do not depend on them.

11 God has spoken once. I have heard it [said] twice: "Power belongs to God.
11
God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God.
12 Mercy belongs to you, O Lord. You reward a person based on what he has done."

Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy; For You render to each one according to his work.
