³ How long will all of you attack a person?
    How long will you try to murder him,
    as though he were a leaning wall or a sagging fence?
⁴         They plan to force him out of his high position.
        They are happy to lie.
        They bless with their mouths,
            but in their hearts they curse. Selah

⁵ Wait calmly for Elohim alone, my soul,
    because my hope comes from him.
⁶ He alone is my rock and my savior—my stronghold.
    I cannot be shaken.

⁷ My salvation and my glory depend on Elohim.
    Elohim is the rock of my strength, my Machseh.
⁸ Trust him at all times, you people.
    Pour out your hearts in his presence.
    Elohim is our Machseh. Selah

⁹ Common people are only a whisper in the wind.
    Important people are only a delusion.
    When all of them are weighed on a scale, they amount to nothing.
    They are less than a whisper in the wind.
¹⁰ Do not count on extortion to make you rich.
    Do not hope to gain anything through robbery.
    When riches increase, do not depend on them.

¹¹ Elohim has spoken once.
    I have heard it said twice:
        “Power belongs to Elohim.
¹² Mercy belongs to you, O Adonay.
    You reward a person based on what he has done.”
