Explanation
This psalm is similar to Psalm 39 but with the theme – trust in all circumstances. Psalm 39, go
 1 ¶ <<To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.>> Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
.2  He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
-
 3  How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
 4  They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
-
 5  My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
 6  He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
 7  In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
-
 8 ¶ Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
 9  Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
  9 - Temptations differ for people in different situations.
 10  Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
 11  God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
12  Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
  12 - Mercy and justice are combined.
