1 My soul waits in silence for God only. From him [is] my salvation. 2 He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower. I shall not be greatly moved.
3 How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may kill, all of you, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? 4 They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5 My soul, wait thou in silence for God only, for my expectation is from him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower. I shall not be moved. 7 With 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, ye 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. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than vanity. 10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery. If riches increase, set not your heart [on it].
11 God has spoken once, twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God. 12 Also to thee, O LORD, belongs loving kindness, for thou render to every man according to his work.
