\d A psalm written by David for Jeduthun, the choir leader
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 1 God is the only one who can give me peace in my inner being,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and he is the one who saves me from my enemies.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 2 Only he is like a huge rock on which I can be safe;
|
||
|
|
\q2 he is like a fortress high up that my enemies cannot climb.
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
|

\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 3 When will you, my enemies, stop attacking me?
|
||
|
|
\q2 I feel that I am as weak against you as a leaning wall or a broken-down fence.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 4 My enemies plan to remove me from my important position so that people no longer honor me.
|
||
|
|
\q2 They delight in telling lies.
|
||
|
|
\q1 They bless people by what they say,
|
||
|
|
\q2 but in their inner beings they curse those people.

||

\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 5 God is the only one who gives me peace in my inner being;
|
||
|
|
\q2 he is the one whom I confidently expect to help me.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 6 Only he is like a huge rock on which I can be safe;
|
||
|
|
\q2 he is like a shelter; my enemies can never reach me there.
|
||
|

|
||
|

|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 7 God is the one who saves me and honors me.
|
||
|
|
\q2 He is like a huge,
|
||
|
|
strong rock on which I can find shelter.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 8 You my people, always trust in him.
|
||
|
|
\q2 Tell him all your troubles
|
||

|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 9 People who are considered to be unimportant are as unreliable as a breath of air;
|
||
|
|
\q2 people who are considered to be important also really amount to nothing.
|
||
|
|
\q1 If you put them all on a scale, it would be as if they weighed less than a puff of air.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 10 Do not trust in money gained by extorting it from others;
|
||
|
|
\q2 do not try to gain anything by robbing others.
|
||
|
|
\q1 If you become very wealthy, do not trust in your money.
|
||
|
|
\b

||
|
|
|

|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 11 I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who really has power,
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 12 and that he is the one who faithfully loves us, as he promised.
|
||
|
|
\q2 He rewards every one of us according to the deeds that we do.
