1. Truly my soul waiteth upon God:

1. from him cometh my salvation.

2. He only is my rock and my salvation;

2. he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.

3. How long will ye imagine mischief against a man?

3. Ye shall be slain all of you:

3. as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

4. They only consult to cast him down from his excellency:

4. they delight in lies:

4. they bless with their mouth,

4. but they curse inwardly. Selah.

5. My soul, wait thou only upon God;

5. for my expectation is from him.

6. He only is my rock and my salvation:

6. he is my defense; I shall not be moved.

7. In God is my salvation and my glory:

7. the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8. Trust in him at all times;

8. ye people, pour out your heart before him:

8. God is a refuge for us. Selah.

9. Surely men of low degree are vanity,

9. and men of high degree are a lie:

9. to be laid in the balance,

9. they are altogether lighter than vanity.

10. Trust not in oppression,

10. and become not vain in robbery:

10. if riches increase,

10. set not your heart upon them.

11. God hath spoken once;

11. twice have I heard this;

11. that power belongeth unto God.

12. Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy:

12. for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
