³ How long will you assail a person,
    will you batter your victim, all of you,
    as you would a leaning wall, a tottering fence?^(B)

⁸ Trust in him at all times, O people;
    pour out your heart before him;
    God is a refuge for us. Selah^(C)

⁹ Those of low estate are but a breath;
    those of high estate are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
    they are together lighter than a breath.^(D)
