1 Somente em Deus, ó minha alma, espera silenciosa;

dele vem a minha salvação.

2 Só ele é a minha rocha, e a minha salvação,

e o meu alto refúgio; não serei muito abalado.

3 Até quando acometereis vós a um homem,

todos vós, para o derribardes,

como se fosse uma parede pendida

ou um muro prestes a cair?

4 Só pensam em derribá-lo da sua dignidade;

na mentira se comprazem;

de boca bendizem,

porém no interior maldizem.

5 Somente em Deus, ó minha alma, espera silenciosa,

porque dele vem a minha esperança.

6 Só ele é a minha rocha, e a minha salvação,

e o meu alto refúgio; não serei jamais abalado.

7 De Deus dependem a minha salvação e a minha glória;

estão em Deus a minha forte rocha e o meu refúgio.

8 Confiai nele, ó povo, em todo tempo;

derramai perante ele o vosso coração;

Deus é o nosso refúgio.

9 Somente vaidade são os homens plebeus;

falsidade, os de fina estirpe;

pesados em balança,

eles juntos são mais leves que a vaidade.

10 Não confieis naquilo que extorquis,

nem vos vanglorieis na rapina;

se as vossas riquezas prosperam,

não ponhais nelas o coração.

11 Uma vez falou Deus,

duas vezes ouvi isto:

Que o poder pertence a Deus,

12 e a ti, Senhor, pertence a graça,

pois a cada um retribuis

segundo as suas obras.

1 My soul waiteth in silence for God only:

From him cometh my salvation.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation:

He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

3 How long will ye set upon a man,

That ye may slay him, all of you,

Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity;

They delight in lies;

They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. [Selah

5 My soul, wait thou in silence for God only;

For my expectation is from him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation:

He is my high tower; I shall not be moved.

7 With God is my salvation and my glory:

The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8 Trust in him at all times, ye people;

Pour out your heart before him:

God is a refuge for us. [Selah

9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie:

In the balances they will go up;

They are together lighter than vanity.

10 Trust not in oppression,

And become not vain in robbery:

If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

11 God hath spoken once,

Twice have I heard this,

That power belongeth unto God.

12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness;

For thou renderest to every man according to his work.

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. [^1]

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 "; 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."
