God Is a Refuge for Us

^1 (C1)Surely my soul waits in silence for God;
From Him ^(C2)is my salvation.

² Surely He is my ^(C1)rock and my salvation,
My ^(C2)stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

³ How long will you assail a man,
That you may murder him, all of you,
Like a ^(C1)leaning wall, like a fence thrust down?

⁴ Surely they have counseled to thrust him down from his high position;
They ^(C1)find pleasure in falsehood;
They ^(C2)bless with ^(F1)their mouth,
But inwardly they curse. ^Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude">(F2)Selah.

⁵ Surely ^(C1)wait in silence for God, O my soul,
For my hope is from Him.

⁶ Surely He is ^(C1)my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

⁷ On God my ^(C1)salvation and my glory rest;
The rock of my strength, my ^(C2)refuge is in God.

^8 (C1)Trust in Him at all times, O people;
^(C2)Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah.

⁹ Surely ^(F1)men of ^(C1)low degree are merely ^(C2)vanity and ^(F2)men of rank are a ^(C3)lie;
In the ^(C4)balances they go up;
They are together lighter than a breath of vanity.

^10 (C1)Do not trust in oppression
And do not put vain hope in ^(C2)robbery;
If riches increase, ^(C3)do not set your heart upon them.

^11 (F1)Once God has ^(C1)spoken;
^(F2)Twice I have heard this:
That ^(C2)strength belongs to God;

¹² And that ^(C1)to You, O Lord, belongs lovingkindness,
For You ^(C2)repay a man according to his work.
