1 I wait alone in silence for God;
2Yes, he is my rock, my help, my retreat,
3How long will you, all of you, batter a man,
4From his rank and prominance
5I wait alone in silence for God;
6Yes, he is my rock, my help, my retreat,
7On God rests my honour and safety,
8Trust in him, all you people assembled,
9The lowly are nought but a breath,
10Trust not in gain of extortion,
11One thing God has uttered,
12and to you, too, O LORD, belongs kindness;
