He alone is my rock and my deliverance,
    my citadel high on the hill; I will not be shaken.

How long will you attack a man?
    How long will all of you strive to crush your prey
    when he’s like a leaning fence or a wall on the verge of collapse?
Their only purpose in life is to knock him down from his prominent position;
    they love deceit.
When others are around, they speak a blessing on someone,
    but inwardly they are mumbling a curse.

Truly he is my rock(A) and my salvation;(B)
    he is my fortress,(C) I will never be shaken.(D)

How long will you assault me?
    Would all of you throw me down—
    this leaning wall,(E) 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](F)
