Waiting for God

God is the only one who can give me peace in my inner being, and he is the one who saves me from my enemies.

Only he is like a huge rock on which I can be safe; he is like a fortress high up that my enemies cannot climb.

When will you, my enemies, stop attacking me? I feel that I am as weak against you as a leaning wall or a broken-down fence.

My enemies plan to remove me from my important position so that people no longer honor me. They delight in telling lies. They bless people by what they say, but in their inner beings they curse those people.

God is the only one who gives me peace in my inner being; he is the one whom I confidently expect to help me.

Only he is like a huge rock on which I can be safe; he is like a shelter; my enemies can never reach me there.

God is the one who saves me and honors me. He is like a huge, strong rock on which I can find shelter.

You my people, always trust in him. Tell him all your troubles because we go to him for safety.

People who are considered to be unimportant are as unreliable as a breath of air; people who are considered to be important also really amount to nothing. If you put them all on a scale, it would be as if they weighed less than a puff of air.

Do not trust in money gained by extorting it from others; do not try to gain anything by robbing others. If you become very wealthy, do not trust in your money.

I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who really has power,

and that he is the one who faithfully loves us, as he promised. He rewards every one of us according to the deeds that we do.

Waiting for God

My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.

He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.

How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.

My salvation and my honor is with God. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.

Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.

God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
