Trust in the Lord and do what is right! Settle in the land and maintain your integrity! ¹ 

Commit your future to the Lord! ¹  Trust in him, and he will act on your behalf. ² 

Even my close friend ¹  whom I trusted, he who shared meals with me, has turned against me. ² 

Surely ¹  one sees ²  that even wise people die; ³  fools and spiritually insensitive people all pass away ⁴  and leave their wealth to others. ⁵ 

This is the destiny of fools, ¹  and of those who approve of their philosophy. ²  (Selah)

in God I trust, I am not afraid. What can mere men ¹  do to me? ² 

He guided them safely along, while the sea covered their enemies.

A song, a psalm of David. I am determined, ²  O God! I will sing and praise you with my whole heart. ³ 

His resolve ¹  is firm; he will not succumb to fear before he looks in triumph on his enemies.

He gave me reason to sing a new song, ¹  praising our God. ²  May many see what God has done, so that they might swear allegiance to him and trust in the Lord! ³ 

I will listen to what God the Lord says. ¹  For he will make ²  peace with his people, his faithful followers. ³  Yet they must not ⁴  return to their foolish ways.

For the music director; according to the al-tashcheth style; ²  a prayer ³  of David, written when he fled from Saul into the cave. ⁴  Have mercy on me, O God! Have mercy on me! For in you I have taken shelter. ⁵  In the shadow of your wings ⁶  I take shelter until trouble passes.
