¹ ⓐ For God aloneⓑ my soulⓒ waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.

² ⓓ He alone is my rock and my salvation, myⓔ fortress;ⓕ I shall not be greatly shaken.

³ How long will all of you attack a man to batter him, likeⓖ a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

⁴ They only plan to thrust him down from hisⓗ high position. They take pleasure in falsehood. ⓘThey bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah

⁵ For God alone, Oⓙ my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.

⁶ ⓚ He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.

⁷ On God rests myⓛ salvation and my glory; my mighty rock,ⓜ my refuge is God.

⁸ ⓝ Trust in him at all times, O people; ⓞpour out your heart before him; God isⓟ a refuge for us. Selah

⁹ ⓠ Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estateⓡ are a delusion; in the balances they go up; ⓢthey are together lighter than a breath.

¹⁰ Put no trust in extortion; ⓣset no vain hopes on robbery; ⓤif riches increase, set not your heart on them.

¹¹ ⓥ Once God has spoken; ⓦtwice have I heard this: thatⓧ power belongs to God,

¹² and that to you, O Lord,ⓨ belongs steadfast love. For you willⓩ render to a man according to his work.
