Waiting for God

1
In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.
2
He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.
3
How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?
4
They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse.
5
Selah Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.
6
He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.
7
My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God.
8
Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge.
9
Selah Lowborn men are but a vapor, the exalted but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.
10
Place no trust in extortion, or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.
11
God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God,
12
and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man according to his deeds.(a)

My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.

He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.
3
How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
4
They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5
My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.
6
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.

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 degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.
10
Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.
11
God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.
12
Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
