God is my rock, my salvation, my hope
My soul in silence waits for my God alone;
He is my fort, I shall not be removed;
He is my refuge, my high tower of strength.
How long will men take pleasure in sin?
They plot and threaten the life of the king.
Vain men are they, delighting in craft;
Their lips they bless with, but they curse inwardly;
Low men or high, both are less than a breath;
Trust and rely not on extortion and gain.
Rescue shall come from my God alone,
and I shall never be greatly removed.
Still, O my soul, wait in silence for God;
My hope and refuge is in my God alone;
He is my Rock, my salvation and strength;
With God alone shall my deliverance be.
Kindness and pow'r belong to our God;
He shall reward ev'ry man for his works.
