    as I pay my vows day after day.^(H)

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?^(C)

    They take pleasure in falsehood;
they bless with their mouths,
    but inwardly they curse. Selah^(D)

    my fortress; I shall not be shaken.^(E)
7 On God rests my deliverance and my honor;
    my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.^(F)

    pour out your heart before him;
    God is a refuge for us. Selah^(G)

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.^(H)
10 Put no confidence in extortion,
    and set no vain hopes on robbery;
    if riches increase, do not set your heart on them.^(I)

¹¹ Once God has spoken;

    according to their work.^(K)

⁵ By awesome deeds you answer us with deliverance,
    O God of our salvation;
you are the hope of all the ends of the earth
    and of the farthest seas.^(E)
6 By your^[a] strength you established the mountains;
    you are girded with might.^(F)
7 You silence the roaring of the seas,
    the roaring of their waves,
    the tumult of the peoples.^(G)
8 Those who live at earth’s farthest bounds are awed by your signs;
you make the gateways of the morning and the evening shout for joy.

⁹ You visit the earth and water it;
    you greatly enrich it;
the river of God is full of water;
    you provide the people with grain,
    for so you have prepared it.^(H)
10 You water its furrows abundantly,
    settling its ridges,
softening it with showers,
    and blessing its growth.
¹¹ You crown the year with your bounty;
    your wagon tracks overflow with richness.
¹² The pastures of the wilderness overflow;
    the hills gird themselves with joy;^(I)
13 the meadows clothe themselves with flocks;
    the valleys deck themselves with grain;
    they shout and sing together for joy.^(J)

⁴ Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
    for you judge the peoples with equity
    and guide the nations upon earth. Selah^(C)

    God, our God, has blessed us.^(E)
7 May God continue to bless us;
    let all the ends of the earth revere him.^(F)
