My soul, (A)wait in silence for God alone,
For my hope is from Him.
He alone is (B)my rock and my salvation,
My refuge; I will not be shaken.
My (C)salvation and my glory rest on God;
The rock of my strength, my (D)refuge is in God.
(E)Trust in Him at all times, you people;
(F)Pour out your hearts before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah

People of (G)low standing are only (H)breath, and people of rank are a (I)lie;
In the (J)balances they go up.
Together they are lighter than breath.
10 (K)Do not trust in oppression,
And do not vainly rely on (L)robbery;
If wealth increases, (M)do not set your heart on it.

11 God has (N)spoken [a]once;
[b]Twice I have heard this:
That (O)power belongs to God;
12 And faithfulness (P)is Yours, Lord,
For You (Q)reward a person according to his work.
