 Let him sit enthroned before God for ever; * bid love and faithfulness watch over him.

So will I always sing the praise of your Name, * and day by day I will fulfill my vows.

For God alone my soul in silence waits; * from him comes my salvation.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, * my stronghold, so that I shall not be greatly shaken.

How long will you assail me to crush me, all of you together, * as if you were a leaning fence, a toppling wall?

They seek only to bring me down from my place of honor; * lies are their chief delight.

They bless with their lips, * but in their hearts they curse.

For God alone my soul in silence waits; * truly, my hope is in him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, * my stronghold, so that I shall not be shaken.

In God is my safety and my honor; * God is my strong rock and my refuge.

Put your trust in him always, O people, * pour out your hearts before him, for God is our refuge.
