1   Truly my heart waits silently for God;
    my deliverance comes from him.
2   In truth he is my rock of deliverance,
  my tower of strength, so that I stand unshaken.
   3   How long will you assail a man with your threats,
  all battering on a leaning wall?
4   In truth men plan to topple him from his height,
  and stamp on the fallen stones. ^note
  With their lips they bless him, the hypocrites,
    but revile him in their hearts.
5   Truly my heart waits silently for God;
    my hope of deliverance comes from him.
6   In truth he is my rock of deliverance,
  my tower of strength, so that I am unshaken.
   7   My deliverance and my honour depend upon God,
  God who is my rock of refuge and my shelter.
   8   Trust always in God, my people,
  pour out your hearts before him;
    God is our shelter.

   9   In very truth men are a puff of wind,
    all men are faithless;
  put them in the balance and they can only rise,
    all of them lighter than wind.

     10   Put no trust in extortion,
    do not be proud of stolen goods;
  though wealth breeds wealth, set not your heart on it.
   11   One thing God has spoken,
    two things I have learnt:
  ‘Power belongs to God’
   12   and ‘True love, O Lord, is thine’;
thou dost requite a man for his deeds.
