1 Only in God do I find rest;my salvation comes from him.
2 Only God is my rock and my salvation—my stronghold!—I won’t be shaken anymore.
3 How long will all of you attack others;how long will you tear them downas if they were leaning walls or broken-down fences?
4 The only desire of this peopleis to bring others down low;they delight in deception.With their mouths they bless,but inside they are cursing. Selah
5 Oh, I must find rest in God only,because my hope comes from him!
6 Only God is my rock and my salvation—my stronghold!—I will not be shaken.
7 My deliverance and glory depend on God.God is my strong rock.My refuge is in God.
8 All you people: Trust in him at all times!Pour out your hearts before him!God is our refuge! Selah
9 Human beings are nothing but a breath.Human beings are nothing but lies.They don’t even register on a scale;taken all together they are lighter than a breath!
10 Don’t trust in violence;don’t set false hopes in robbery.When wealth bears fruit,don’t set your heart on it.
11 God has spoken one thing—make it two things—that I myself have heard:that strength belongs to God,
12 and faithful love comes from you, my Lord—and that you will repayeveryone according to their deeds.
