3How long will you, all of you, batter a man, as one might a leaning wall?
4From his height they are planning to topple him. They take pleasure in falsehood; they bless with their mouth, but inwardly they curse. Selah
5I wait alone in silence for God; for from him comes my hope.
6Yes, he is my rock, my help, my retreat, I shall not be shaken too sorely.
7On God rests my honor and safety, in God is my strong rock, my refuge.
8Trust in him, all you people assembled, pour out your heart in his presence; God is a refuge for us. Selah
9The lowly are nought but a breath, the lofty are but an illusion: in the balances up they go, they are lighter than breath altogether.
