¹ Truly my soul waits on God: from him comes my salvation. ² He only is my rock and my salvation he is my defense I will not be greatly moved. ³ How long will you imagine mischief against a man? You will be slain all of you: as a bowing wall will you be, and as a tottering fence. ⁴ They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. ⁵ My soul, wait you only on God; for my expectation [is] from him. ⁶ He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defense I will 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 vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. ¹⁰ Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart [upon them]. ¹¹ God has spoken once twice have I heard this that power belongs to God. ¹² Also to you, O Lord, belongs mercy: for you renderest to every man according to his work.
