1 Truly my soul resteth on God alone; From him cometh my deliverance! 2He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my safeguard, I shall not wholly fall! 3How long will ye continue to assault a single man? How long will ye all seek to destroy me, Like a bending wall, or a tottering fence? 4They study how to cast me down from my eminence; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse. 5My soul, rest thou on God alone, For from him cometh my hope! 6He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my safeguard, —I shall not fall. 7From God cometh my help and my glory: My strong rock, my refuge, is God. 8Trust in him at all times, ye people! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our refuge! 9Truly men of low degree are vanity, And men of high degree are a lie; Placed in the balance, They are all lighter than vanity. 10Trust not in extortion; Place no vain hopes in rapine! If riches increase, set not your heart upon them! 11Once hath God promised, twice have I heard it, That power belongeth unto God. 12To thee also, O Lord! belongeth mercy; For thou dost render to every man according to his work!
