• God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.

  • 1 My soul waits in silence for God alone; From Him comes my salvation.
  • 2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I will not be greatly shaken.
  • 3 How long will you attack a man, That you may murder him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
  • 4 They have planned only to thrust him down from his high position; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouth, But inwardly they curse. Selah
  • 5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone, For my hope is from Him.
  • 6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, My refuge; I will not be shaken.
  • 7 My salvation and my glory rest on God; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
  • 8 Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your hearts before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
  • 9 People of low standing are only breath, and people of rank are a lie; In the balances they go up. Together they are lighter than breath.
  • 10 Do not trust in oppression, And do not vainly rely on robbery; If wealth increases, do not set your heart on it.
  • 11 God has spoken once; Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God;
  • 12 And faithfulness is Yours, Lord, For You reward a person according to his work.
