לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־יְדוּתוּן מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד׃

For the leader; on Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

2

אַךְ אֶל־אֱלֹהִים דּוּמִיָּה נַפְשִׁי מִמֶּנּוּ יְשׁוּעָתִי׃

Truly my soul waits quietly for God, from whom my deliverance comes.

3

אַךְ־הוּא צוּרִי וִישׁוּעָתִי מִשְׂגַּבִּי לֹא־אֶמּוֹט רַבָּה׃

Truly [God] is my rock and deliverance, my haven; I shall never be shaken.

4

עַד־אָנָה תְּהוֹתְתוּ עַל־אִישׁ תְּרָצְּחוּ כֻלְּכֶם כְּקִיר נָטוּי גָּדֵר הַדְּחוּיָה׃

How long will all of you attack someone, to crush them, as though they were a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

5

אַךְ מִשְּׂאֵתוֹ יָעֲצוּ לְהַדִּיחַ יִרְצוּ כָזָב בְּפִיו יְבָרֵכוּ וּבְקִרְבָּם יְקַלְלוּ־סֶלָה׃

You lay plans to topple them from their status; you delight in falsehood; you bless with your mouths, while inwardly you curse. Selah.

6

אַךְ לֵאלֹהִים דּוֹמִּי נַפְשִׁי כִּי־מִמֶּנּוּ תִּקְוָתִי׃

Truly, wait quietly for God, O my soul, from whom comes my hope.

7

אַךְ־הוּא צוּרִי וִישׁוּעָתִי מִשְׂגַּבִּי לֹא אֶמּוֹט׃

[God] is my rock and deliverance, my haven; I shall not be shaken.

8

עַל־אֱלֹהִים יִשְׁעִי וּכְבוֹדִי צוּר־עֻזִּי מַחְסִי בֵּאלֹהִים׃

I rely on God, my deliverance and glory, my rock of strength; in God is my refuge.

9

בִּטְחוּ־בוֹ בְכׇל־עֵת עָם שִׁפְכוּ־לְפָנָיו לְבַבְכֶם אֱלֹהִים מַחֲסֶה־לָּנוּ סֶלָה׃

Trust in [God] at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before the Holy One; God is our refuge. Selah.

10

אַךְ הֶבֶל בְּנֵי־אָדָם כָּזָב בְּנֵי־אִישׁ בְּמֹאזְנַיִם לַעֲלוֹת הֵמָּה מֵהֶבֶל יָחַד׃

Humans are mere breath; mortals, an illusion— placed on a scale all together, they weigh even less than a breath.

11

אַל־תִּבְטְחוּ בְעֹשֶׁק וּבְגָזֵל אַל־תֶּהְבָּלוּ חַיִל כִּי־יָנוּב אַל־תָּשִׁיתוּ לֵב׃

Do not trust in violence, or put false hopes in robbery; if force bears fruit pay it no mind.

12

אַחַת דִּבֶּר אֱלֹהִים שְׁתַּיִם־זוּ שָׁמָעְתִּי כִּי עֹז לֵאלֹהִים׃

One thing God has spoken; two things have I heard: that might belongs to God,

13

וּלְךָ־אֲדֹנָי חָסֶד כִּי־אַתָּה תְשַׁלֵּם לְאִישׁ כְּמַעֲשֵׂהוּ׃ {פ}

and faithfulness is Yours, O my Sovereign, to reward everyone according to their deeds.
