David, professing his confidence in God, discourageth his enemies.

1 ¶ [[To the chief Musician,ºª to² Jeduthun,º A Psalmº of David.]]º Truly² my soulº waitethº upon² God:º from² him [cometh] my salvation.º 2 He² only² [is] my rockº and my salvation;º [he is] my defence;º I shall not² be greatlyº moved.ºª 3 How long²² will ye imagine mischiefºª against² a man?º ye shall be slainºª all² of you: as a bowingºª wallº [shall ye be, and as] a totteringºª fence.º 4 They only² consultºª to cast [him] downºª from his excellency:º² they delightºª in lies:º they blessºª with their mouth,º but they curseºª inwardly.º Selah.º
