How long will you assault me?
    Would all of you throw me down—
    this leaning wall,(A) this tottering fence?
Surely they intend to topple me
    from my lofty place;
    they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
    but in their hearts they curse.[a](B)

Yes, my soul, find rest in God;(C)
    my hope comes from him.
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[b];
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.(D)
Trust in him at all times, you people;(E)
    pour out your hearts to him,(F)
    for God is our refuge.

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