3 How long will you assail a man, That you may murder him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence ?
|
3 How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down-- this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
|

4 They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position ; They delight in falsehood ; They bless with their mouth, But inwardly they curse. Selah.
|
4 They fully intend to topple him from his lofty place; they take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse. "Selah"
|
|
5 My soul, wait in silence for God only, For my hope is from Him.
|
5 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.

|
|
9 Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie ; In the balances they go up; They are together lighter than breath.
|
9 Lowborn men 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 oppression And do not vainly hope in robbery ; If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.
|
10 Do not trust in extortion or take pride in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
|
|
11 Once God has spoken ; Twice I have heard this : That power belongs to God ;
|
11 One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong,
|
|
12 And lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord, For You recompense a man according to his work.
|
12 and that you, O Lord, are loving. Surely you will reward each person according to what he has done.
