1 <> Truly my soul waiteth upon God; from Him cometh my salvation.
|

|
|
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.
|
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
|
|
3 How long will ye conjure mischief against a man? Ye shall be slain, all of you; as a bulging wall shall ye be, and as 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 consult only to cast him down from his excellency, they delight in lies, they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. 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 thou only upon God, for my expectation is from Him.
|
5 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.
|
|
6 He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved.
|
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
|
|
7 In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength and my refuge is in God.
|
7 My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
|
|
8 Trust in Him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
|
8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. "Selah"
|
|
9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; if weighed in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
|
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 Trust not in oppression, and put not vain hope in robbery; if riches increase, set not 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 God hath spoken this once, twice have I heard this: that power belongeth unto God.
|
11 One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong,
|
|
12 Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy, for Thou renderest to every 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.
