Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
    he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God[a];
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.(A)
Trust in him at all times, you people;(B)
    pour out your hearts to him,(C)
    for God is our refuge.

Surely the lowborn(D) are but a breath,(E)
    the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance,(F) they are nothing;
    together they are only a breath.
10 Do not trust in extortion(G)
    or put vain hope in stolen goods;(H)
though your riches increase,
    do not set your heart on them.(I)

11 One thing God has spoken,
    two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,(J)
12     and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;(K)
and, “You reward everyone
    according to what they have done.”(L)
