David extols God as his defence, his rock, and his salvation—The Lord judges men according to their works.

 TRULY my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.

 He only is my rock and my ^asalvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they ^acurse inwardly. Selah.

 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

 He only is my ^arock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

 In God is my salvation and my ^aglory: the rock of my strength, and my ^brefuge, is in God.

 ^aTrust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than ^avanity.

 Trust not in ^aoppression^•, and become not vain in robbery: if ^briches^• increase, set not your ^cheart^• upon them.

 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth ^amercy^•: for thou renderest to every man according to his ^bwork.
