My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken. |
3 How long will you assail a man,
That you may murder him, all of you,
Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? 4 They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position;
They delight in falsehood;
They bless witha Lit histheir mouth,
But inwardly they curse.b Selah may mean: Pause, Crescendo or Musical interludeSelah. |
5 My soul, wait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken. 7 On God my salvation and my glory rest;
The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. 8 Trust in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah. |
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. 10 Do not trust in oppression
And do notc Lit become vain in robberyvainly hope in robbery;
If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them. |

e Or These two things I have heardTwice I have heard this:
That power belongs to God; 12 And lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord,
For You recompense a man according to his work. |
