1 Only before God is my soul silent; from Him comes my salvation.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my stronghold; I shall not be greatly moved.

3 How long will you assail a man? You shall be slain, all of you, like a bowing wall and a tottering fence.

4 Surely they have plotted to cast him down from his high position; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

5 My soul, be still only before God; for my expectation is from Him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

7 In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength; my refuge is in God.

8 Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah.

9 Surely the sons of men are a vapor; men are a lie; if they were to climb up into the scales, they are altogether lighter than vapor.

10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

11 God has spoken once, twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God.

12 Also to You, O Jehovah, belongs mercy; for You give to every man according to his work.
