[1] I wait patiently for God. Only he can save me. [2] He is my rock, who saves me. He protects me like a strong, walled city. I will not be defeated. [3] How long will you attack me? Will all of you throw me down? I am like a leaning wall, like a fence ready to fall. [4] You are planning to make me fall. You enjoy telling lies about me. With your mouth you bless me. But in your heart you curse me. Selah [5] I wait patiently for God to save me. Only he gives me hope. [6] He is my rock, who saves me. He protects me like a strong, walled city. I will not be defeated. [7] My honor and salvation come from God. He is my mighty rock and my protection. [8] People, trust God all the time. Tell him all your problems. God is our protection. Selah [9] People are only a breath. Even the greatest men are just a lie. On the scales, they weigh nothing. Together they are only a breath. [10] Do not trust in force. Stealing is of no use. Even if you gain more riches, don't put your trust in them. [11] God has said this, and I have heard it over and over: God, you are strong. [12] Lord, you are loving. You reward a person for what he does.
