God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.

^1 (C1)My soul waits in silence for God alone;
From Him ^(C2)comes my salvation.

² He alone is my ^(C1)rock and my salvation,
My ^(C2)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 ^(C1)leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

⁴ They have planned only to thrust him down from his high position;
They ^(C1)delight in falsehood;
They ^(C2)bless with ^(F1)their mouth,
But inwardly they curse. Selah

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

⁶ He alone is ^(C1)my rock and my salvation,
My refuge; I will not be shaken.

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

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

⁹ People of ^(C1)low standing are only ^(C2)breath, and people of rank are a ^(C3)lie;
In the ^(C4)balances they go up.
Together they are lighter than breath.

^10 (C1)Do not trust in oppression,
And do not vainly rely on ^(C2)robbery;
If wealth increases, ^(C3)do not set your heart on it.

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

¹² And faithfulness ^(C1)is Yours, Lord,
For You ^(C2)reward a person according to his work.
