My soul truly waiteth still upon God;
for of him cometh my
salvation.
He verily is my strength and my salvation;
he is my
defence, so that I shall not greatly fall.
How long will ye imagine mischief against every man? Ye
shall be slain all the sort of you;
yea, as a tottering wall shall
ye be, and like a broken hedge.
Their device is only how to
put him out whom God will exalt;
their delight is in lies.
They give good words with their mouth, but curse with their
heart.
Nevertheless, my soul, wait thou still upon God;
for
my hope is in him.
He truly is my strength and my salvation;
he is my defence, so that I shall not fall.
In God is my health
and my glory, the rock of my might;
and in God is my trust.
O put your trust in him always, ye people;
pour out your
hearts before him, for God is our hope.
As for the children of
men, they are but vanity;
the children of men are deceitful.
Upon the weights they are altogether lighter than vanity itself.
O trust not in wrong and robbery;
give not yourselves
unto vanity.
If riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
God spoke once, and twice I have also heard the same, that
power belongeth unto God, and that thou, Lord, art merciful;
for thou rewardest every man according to his work.
