7. God alone is my rock and my salvation,my fortress; I shall not fall.
8. My deliverance and honor are with God,my strong rock;my refuge is with God.
9. Trust God at all times, my people!Pour out your hearts to God our refuge!Selah
10. Mortals are a mere breath,the sons of man but an illusion;On a balance they rise;together they weigh nothing.
11. Do not trust in extortion;in plunder put no empty hope.On wealth that increases,do not set your heart.
12. One thing God has said;two things I have heard:Strength belongs to God;
13. so too, my Lord, does mercy,For you repay each manaccording to his deeds.
