Berean Standard Bible
Chapter summary
The psalmist declares that his soul finds rest in God alone, who is his rock, salvation, and fortress. He addresses opponents who threaten a man and conspire to cast him down, noting that they use deceitful speech by blessing with their mouths while cursing inwardly. The speaker encourages his soul to remain steadfast and urges the people to trust in God at all times and pour out their hearts before Him. He observes that both lowborn and exalted people are untrustworthy and fleeting when weighed together. Finally, the text warns against placing trust in extortion, stolen goods, or increasing riches, and concludes that power and loving devotion belong to God, who repays every person according to their deeds.
