| For God alone my soul in silence waits; *
from him comes my salvation.
|
| 2
| He alone is my rock and my salvation, *
my stronghold, so that I shall not be greatly shaken.
|
| 3
| How long will you assail me to crush me,
all of you together, *
as if you were a leaning fence, a toppling wall?
|
| 4
| They seek only to bring me down from my place
of honor; *
lies are their chief delight.
|
| 5
| They bless with their lips, *
but in their hearts they curse.
|
| 6
| For God alone my soul in silence waits; *
truly, my hope is in him.
|
| 7
| He alone is my rock and my salvation, *
my stronghold, so that I shall not be shaken.
|
| 8
| In God is my safety and my honor; *
God is my strong rock and my refuge.
|
| 9
| Put your trust in him always, O people, *
pour out your hearts before him, for God is our refuge.
|
| 10
| Those of high degree are but a fleeting breath,
*
even those of low estate cannot be trusted.
|
| 11
| On the scales they are lighter than a breath,
*
all of them together.
|
| 12
| Put no trust in extortion;
in robbery take no empty pride; *
though wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.
|
| 13
| God has spoken once, twice have I heard it,
*
that power belongs to God.
|
| 14
| Steadfast love is yours, O Lord, *
for you repay everyone according to his deeds.
