1 ([Psalm of David]) I wait silently for my God. My salvation comes from him.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my stronghold. I cannot be severely shaken.
3 How long will all of you attack a man? How long will you try to murder him, as though he were a leaning wall or a sagging fence?
4 They plan to force him out of his high position. They are happy to lie. They bless with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse.
5 I will wait calmly for God alone, because my hope comes from him.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my stronghold. I cannot be shaken.
7 My salvation and my glory depend on God. God is the rock of my strength, my refuge.
8 Trust him at all times, you people. Pour out your hearts in his presence. God is our refuge.
9 Common people are only a vapor in the wind. Important people are only a delusion. When all of them are weighed on a scale, they amount to nothing. They are less than a vapor in the wind.
10 Do not count on extortion to make you rich. Do not hope to gain anything through robbery. When riches increase, do not depend on them.
