[1] Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation. [2] He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved. [3] How long will you attack a man? You shall be slain, all of you, Like a leaning wall and a tottering fence. [4] They only consult to cast him down from his high position; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, But they curse inwardly. Selah [5] My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. [6] He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; 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, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah [9] Surely men of low degree are a vapor, Men of high degree are a lie; If they are weighed on the scales, They are altogether lighter than vapor. [10] Do not trust in oppression, Nor vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, Do not set your heart on them. [11] God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God. [12] Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy; For You render to each one according to his work.
