1. FOR GOD alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation.
2. He only is my Rock and my Salvation, my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be greatly moved.
3. How long will you set upon a man that you may slay him, all of you, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
4. They only consult to cast him down from his height [to dishonor him]; they delight in lies. They bless with their mouths, but they curse inwardly. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
5. My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him.
