1Truly my soul waits for God. My salvation comes from him.
2He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my defence. I shall not be greatly shaken.

4They plan only to throw him down from his high place. They delight in lies. With their mouth they bless, but inside they curse. Selah.
5My soul, wait for God alone, for my hope comes from him.
6He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my defence. I shall not be shaken.
7My salvation and my glory are in God. The rock of my strength and my refuge are in God.
8Trust in him at all times. You people, pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.

10Do not trust in oppression. Do not put empty hope in robbery. If riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
11God has spoken once; twice I have heard this: that power belongs to God.
12To you also, O Lord, belongs mercy, for you repay everyone according to what he has done.
