[1] Only in God do I find rest; my salvation comes from him. [2] Only God is my rock and my salvation—my stronghold!—I won’t be shaken anymore. [3] How long will all of you attack others; how long will you tear them down as if they were leaning walls or broken-down fences? [4] The only desire of this people is to bring others down low; they delight in deception. With their mouths they bless, but inside they are cursing. Selah [5] Oh, I must find rest in God only, because my hope comes from him! [6] Only God is my rock and my salvation—my stronghold!—I will not be shaken. [7] My deliverance and glory depend on God. God is my strong rock. My refuge is in God. [8] All you people: Trust in him at all times! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our refuge! Selah [9] Human beings are nothing but a breath. Human beings are nothing but lies. They don’t even register on a scale; taken all together they are lighter than a breath! [10] Don’t trust in violence; don’t set false hopes in robbery. When wealth bears fruit, don’t set your heart on it. [11] God has spoken one thing—make it two things—that I myself have heard: that strength belongs to God, [12] and faithful love comes from you, my Lord—and that you will repay everyone according to their deeds.
