[1] My soul waits in silence for God only; From Him is my salvation. [2] He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken. [3] How long will you assail a man, That you may murder him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? [4] They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouth, But inwardly they curse. Selah. [5] My soul, wait in silence for God only, For my hope is from Him. [6] He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be shaken. [7] On God my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. [8] Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah. [9] Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie; In the balances they go up; They are together lighter than breath. [10] Do not trust in oppression And do not vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them. [11] Once God has spoken; Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God; [12] And lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord, For You recompense a man according to his work.
