- 1
- ¶ MY soul waits upon God;
from him comes my salvation.
- 2
- He only is my God and my salvation;
he is my great defense; I shall not be moved.
- 3
- How long will you threaten a man so that you may kill him?
Like a crumbling wall shall you be and as a tottering fence.
- 4
- For you have thought to cast him down from his excellency;
you delight in lies; you bless with your mouths, but curse with your hearts.
- 5
- My soul, wait only upon God;
for my salvation is from him.
- 6
- He only is my God and my salvation;
he is my defense; I shall not be moved.
- 7
- In God is my salvation and my glory;
God is my strength, my refuge, and my hope.
- 8
- ¶ Trust in him at all times;
you people, pour out your hearts before him; God is a refuge for us.
- 9
- Surely all untrue men are like vapor;
when they are placed in the balance, they are found wanting.
- 10
- Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery;
if riches increase, let not your heart rejoice over them.
- 11
- God has said this once;
twice have I heard this; that power belongs unto God.
- 12
- Also unto thee, O LORD, belongs mercy;
for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
