Waiting for God

1
In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.
2
He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.
3
How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?
4
They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse.
5
Selah Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.
6
He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.
7
My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God.
8
Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge.
9
Selah Lowborn men are but a vapor, the exalted but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.
10
Place no trust in extortion, or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.
11
God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God,
12
and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man according to his deeds.(a)

Waiting for God

1
My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.
2
He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.
3
How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
4
They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5
My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.
6
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.
7
My salvation and my honor is with God. The rock of my strength, and 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 men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.
10
Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.
11
God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.
12
Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
