2He alone is my rock and my salvation, *
my stronghold, so that I shall not be greatly shaken.

3How long will you assail me to crush me,
all of you together, *
as if you were a leaning fence, a toppling wall?
all of you together, *

4They seek only to bring me down from my place of honor; *
lies are their chief delight.

5They bless with their lips, *
but in their hearts they curse.

6For God alone my soul in Silence waits; *
truly, my hope is in him.

9Put your trust in him always, O people, *
pour out your hearts before him, for God is our refuge.

10Those of high degree are but a fleeting breath, *
even those of low estate cannot be trusted.

11On the scales they are lighter than a breath, *
all of them together.
all of them together.
12Put no trust in extortion;
in robbery take no empty pride; *
though wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.

13God has spoken once, twice have I heard it, *
that power belongs to God.

for you repay everyone according to his deeds.
