1
Truly my soul finds rest in God;
my salvation comes from him.
2
Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
3
How long will you assault me?
Would all of you throw me down -
this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
4
Surely they intend to topple me
from my lofty place;
they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
but in their hearts they curse. 1
5
Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
my hope comes from him.
6
Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7
My salvation and my honor depend on God 2 ;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8
Trust in him at all times, you people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.
9
Surely the lowborn are but a breath,
the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance, they are nothing;
together they are only a breath.
10
Do not trust in extortion
or put vain hope in stolen goods;
though your riches increase,
do not set your heart on them.
11
One thing God has spoken,
two things I have heard:
"Power belongs to you, God,
12
and with you, Lord, is unfailing love";
and, "You reward everyone
according to what they have done."
