4. Surely they intend to topple me from my lofty place; they take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse.
5. Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.
6. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7. My salvation and my honor depend on God ; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8. Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
9. Surely the lowborn are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie. If weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath.
10. Do not trust in extortion or put vain hope in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
11. One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: “Power belongs to you, God,
12. and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”; and, “You reward everyone according to what they have done.”
