(A psalm by David for Jeduthun, the music leader.)

God Is Powerful and Kind

Only God can save me,
    and I calmly wait for[a] him.
God alone is the mighty rock[b]
    that keeps me safe
and the fortress
    where I am secure.

I feel like a shaky fence
    or a sagging wall.
How long will all of you
    attack and assault me?

Psalm 62[a]

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

Truly my soul finds rest(A) in God;(B)
    my salvation comes from him.
Truly he is my rock(C) and my salvation;(D)
    he is my fortress,(E) I will never be shaken.(F)

How long will you assault me?
    Would all of you throw me down—
    this leaning wall,(G) this tottering fence?
