1 Truly my soul finds rest in
God;
my salvation comes from him.
2 Truly he is my rock and my
salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be
shaken.
3 How long will you
assault me?
Would all of you throw me down—
this leaning wall, this tottering
fence?
4 Surely they intend to topple me
from my lofty place;
they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
but in their hearts they curse.[b]
5 Yes, my soul,
find rest in God;
my hope comes from him.
6 Truly he is my rock and my
salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be
shaken.
7 My salvation and my honor depend on
God[c];
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8 Trust in him at all times, you
people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.
9 Surely the
lowborn 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 extortion
or put vain hope in stolen goods;
though your riches increase,
do not set your heart on them.
11 One thing God
has spoken,
two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,
12 and with you,
Lord, is unfailing love”;
and, “You reward everyone
according to what they have
done.”
