¹My soul waits on god; from him comes my salvation.
²He, only, is my god and my salvation; he is my great defense; I will not be moved.

³How long will you threaten a man, so that you may kill him? Like a crumbling wall you will be, and as a tottering fence.
⁴For you have thought to cast him down from his excellency; you delight in lies; you bless with your mouths, but curse with your hearts.

⁵My soul, wait only on god; for my salvation is from him.
⁶He, only, is my god and my salvation; he is my defense; I will not be moved.
⁷In god is my salvation and my glory; god is my strength, my refuge, and my hope.

⁸Trust in him at all times; you people, pour out your hearts before him; god is a refuge for us.

⁹Surely, all untrue men are like vapor; when they are placed in the balance, they are found wanting.
¹⁰Do not trust in oppression, and do not become vain in robbery; if riches increase, do not let your heart rejoice over them.

¹¹God has said this once; twice I have heard this; that power belongs to god.
¹²To you, master, also belongs mercy; for you render to every man according to his work.
