3How long will you set upon a man to shatter him, all of you, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence? 4They only plan to thrust him down from his eminence.
They take pleasure in falsehood.
They bless with their mouths,
but inwardly they curse.
5For God alone my soul waits in silence,
for my hope is from him.
6He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress;
I shall not be shaken.
7On God rests my deliverance and my honour;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
8Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us.
9Men of low estate are but a breath,
men of high estate are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
they are together lighter than a breath.
10Put no confidence in extortion, set no vain hopes on robbery;
if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
11Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God;
12and that to you, O Yahweh, belongs steadfast love.
For you requite a man
according to his work.
