62
1 For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold;
I will not be greatly shaken.
3 How long will you assault a man, all of you battering him down like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
4 They plan only to thrust him down from his high place;
they delight in falsehood.
With their mouth they bless, but inwardly they curse. Selah.
5 Wait in silence for God alone, my soul, for my hope comes from him.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold;
I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and my glory rest on God;
my strong rock and my refuge are in God.
8 Trust in him at all times, you people;
pour out your heart before him.
God is our refuge. Selah.
9 Common people are only a breath, nobles a lie;
in the scales they rise, together lighter than a breath.
10 Do not trust in extortion or set vain hopes on robbery;
if wealth increases, do not set your heart on it.
11 Once God has spoken;
twice I have heard this: power belongs to God,
12 and to you, Lord, belongs steadfast love, for you repay each person according to his work.
