(1) Truly my soul silently waits for God;
From Him comes my salvation.
(2) He only is my rock and my salvation;
He is my defense;
I shall not be greatly moved. (3) How long will you attack a man?
You shall be slain, all of you,

They bless with their mouth,
But they curse inwardly. Selah (5) My soul, wait silently for God alone,
For my expectation is from Him.
(6) He only is my rock and my salvation;
He is my defense;
I shall not be moved.
(7) In God is my salvation and my glory;
The rock of my strength,
And my refuge, is in God. (8) Trust in Him at all times, you people;
Pour out your heart before Him;

If they are weighed on the scales,
They are altogether lighter than vapor.
(10) Do not trust in oppression,
Nor vainly hope in robbery;
If riches increase,
Do not set your heart on them. (11) God has spoken once,
Twice I have heard this:
That power belongs to God.
(12) Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy;
For You render to each one according to his work.
