Waiting for God

Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David.

Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.

For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.

How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.

But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.

But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.

For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.

In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.

Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.

But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.

Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.

God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,

And mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.

Waiting for God

My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.

He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.

How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

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.

My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.

My salvation and my honor is with God. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.

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.

Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.

God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
