2Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness;

From Him cometh my salvation.

3He only is my rock and my salvation,

My high tower, I shall not be greatly moved.

4How long will ye set upon a man,

That ye may slay him, all of you,

As a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

5They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies;

They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.

6Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul;

For from Him cometh my hope.

7He only is my rock and my salvation,

My high tower, I shall not be moved.

8Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory;

The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

9Trust in Him at all times, ye people;

Pour out your heart before Him;

God is a refuge for us.

10Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie;

If they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.

11Trust not in oppression,

And put not vain hope in robbery;

If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

12God hath spoken once,

Twice have I heard this:

That strength belongeth unto God;

13Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy;

For Thou renderest to every man according to his work.
