⁵For God alone, O ^(A)my soul, wait in silence,
    for my hope is from him.
⁶^(B)He only is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
⁷On God rests my ^(C)salvation and my glory;
    my mighty rock, ^(D)my refuge is God.

    ^(K)set no vain hopes on robbery;
    ^(L)if riches increase, set not your heart on them.

¹¹^(M)Once God has spoken;
    ^(N)twice have I heard this:
that ^(O)power belongs to God,

For you will ^(Q)render to a man
    according to his work.
