1 Only God can save me,and I calmly wait for him.
2 God alone is the mighty rockthat keeps me safeand the fortresswhere I am secure.
3 I feel like a shaky fenceor a sagging wall.How long will all of youattack and assault me?
4 You want to bring me downfrom my place of honor.You love to tell lies,and when your words are kind,hatred hides in your heart.
5 Only God gives inward peace,and I depend on him.
6 God alone is the mighty rockthat keeps me safe,and he is the fortresswhere I feel secure.
7 God saves me and honors me.He is that mighty rockwhere I find safety.
8 Trust God, my friends,and always tell himeach of your concerns.God is our place of safety.
9 We humans are only a breath;none of us are truly great.All of us together weigh lessthan a puff of air.
10 Don't trust in violenceor depend on dishonestyor rely on great wealth.
11 I heard God say two things:“I am powerful,
12 and I am very kind.”The Lord rewards each of usaccording to what we do.
