1.3 KiB
God Is a Refuge for Us
1
Surely my soul waits in silence for God; From Him is my salvation.
2
Surely He is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.
3
How long will you assail a man, That you may murder him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a fence thrust down?
4
Surely they have counseled to thrust him down from his high position; They find pleasure in falsehood; They bless with their mouth, But inwardly they curse. Selah.
5
Surely wait in silence for God, O my soul, For my hope is from Him.
6
Surely He is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
7
On God my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
8
Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9
Surely men of low degree are merely vanity and men of rank are a lie; In the balances they go up; They are together lighter than a breath of vanity.
10
Do not trust in oppression And do not put vain hope in robbery; If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.
11
Once God has spoken; Twice I have heard this: That strength belongs to God;
12
And that to You, O Lord, belongs lovingkindness, For You repay a man according to his work.
