[1] My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him. [2] He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken. [3] How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? [4] They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. [5] My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him. [6] He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken. [7] My salvation and my honor is with God. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. [8] Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah. [9] Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath. [10] Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them. [11] God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God. [12] Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
