Tap a verse to highlight it

1 Truly my soul waiteth upon Elohim: from him cometh my salvation.

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

3 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.

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

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

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

7 In Elohim is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in Elohim.

8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: Elohim is a refuge for us. Selah.

9 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 vanity.

10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

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

12 Also unto thee, O יהוה, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
