Trust in God Alone

¹I am at rest in God alone;

my salvation comes from him.

²He alone is my rock and my salvation,[#62:1–2 Dt 32:15; 2Sm 22:47]

my stronghold; I will never be shaken.

³How long will you threaten a man?

Will all of you attack

as if he were a leaning wall

or a tottering fence?

⁴They only plan to bring him down

from his high position.

They take pleasure in lying;

they bless with their mouths,

but they curse inwardly. Selah

⁵Rest in God alone, my soul,

for my hope comes from him.

⁶He alone is my rock and my salvation,[#62:6 Ps 89:26; 95:1]

my stronghold; I will not be shaken.

⁷My salvation and glory depend on God, my strong rock.

My refuge is in God.

⁸Trust in him at all times, you people;

pour out your hearts before him.

God is our refuge. Selah

⁹Common people are only a vapour;

important people, an illusion.

Together on a scale,

they weigh less than a vapour.

¹⁰Place no trust in oppression

or false hope in robbery.

If wealth increases,

don’t set your heart on it.

¹¹God has spoken once;

I have heard this twice:

strength belongs to God,

¹²and faithful love belongs to you, Lord.

For you repay each according to his works.
