1My soul waits in silence for God only. From him is my salvation. 2He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower. I shall not be greatly moved. 3How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may kill, all of you, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? 4They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. 5My soul, wait thou in silence for God only, for my expectation is from him. 6He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower. I shall not be moved. 7With God is my salvation and my glory. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. 8Trust in him at all times, ye people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah. 9Surely 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. 10Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery. If riches increase, set not your heart on it. 11God has spoken once, twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God. 12Also to thee, O Lord, belongs loving kindness, for thou render to every man according to his work.
