Opening the chapter…
I wait in silence for God alone; my salvation comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
How long, all of you, will you attack a man, that you may tip him over like a leaning wall or a shaky fence?
They consult with him only to bring him down from his honorable position; they love to tell lies; they bless him with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse him. Selah
I wait in silence for God alone; for my hope is set on him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be moved.
With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength and my refuge are in God.
Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
Surely men of low standing are vanity, and men of high standing are a lie; they will weigh lightly in the scales; weighed together, they are lighter than nothing.
Do not trust in oppression or robbery; and do not hope uselessly in riches, for they will bear no fruit; do not fix your heart on them.
God has spoken once, twice have I heard this: power belongs to God.
Also to you, Lord, belongs covenant faithfulness, for you pay back every person for what he has done.
