For God alone my soul in silence waits; truly, my hope is in him.
7. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold, so that I shall not be shaken.
8. In God is my safety and my honor; God is my strong rock and my refuge.
For God alone my soul in silence waits; truly, my hope is in him.
9. Put your trust in him always, O people, pour out your hearts before him, for God is our refuge.
10. Those of high degree are but a fleeting breath, even those of low estate cannot be trusted.
For God alone my soul in silence waits; truly, my hope is in him.
11. On the scales they are lighter than a breath, all of them together.
12. Put no trust in extortion; in robbery take no empty pride; though wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.
For God alone my soul in silence waits; truly, my hope is in him.
13. God has spoken once, twice have I heard it, that power belongs to God.
For God alone my soul in silence waits; truly, my hope is in him.
