[1] For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.
[2] He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall never be shaken.
[3] How long will you assail a person,
will you batter your victim, all of you,
as you would a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
[4] Their only plan is to bring down a person of prominence.
They take pleasure in falsehood;
they bless with their mouths,
but inwardly they curse.
Selah
[5] For God alone my soul waits in silence,
for my hope is from him.
[6] He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
[7] On God rests my deliverance and my honor;
my mighty rock, 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] Those of low estate are but a breath,
those of high estate are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
they are together lighter than a breath.
[10] Put no confidence in extortion,
and set no vain hopes on robbery;
if riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
[11] Once God has spoken;
twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,
[12] and steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord.
For you repay to all
according to their work.
