1. I wait patiently for God to save me;I depend on him alone.
2. He alone protects and saves me;he is my defender,and I shall never be defeated.
3. How much longer will all of you attack someonewho is no stronger than a broken-down fence?
4. You only want to bring him down from his place of honour;you take pleasure in lies.You speak words of blessing,but in your heart you curse him.
5. I depend on God alone;I put my hope in him.
6. He alone protects and saves me;he is my defender,and I shall never be defeated.
7. My salvation and honour depend on God;he is my strong protector;he is my shelter.
8. Trust in God at all times, my people.Tell him all your troubles,for he is our refuge.
9. Human beings are all like a puff of breath;great and small alike are worthless.Put them on the scales, and they weigh nothing;they are lighter than a mere breath.
