God the Only Refuge

621 My soul waits in silence for God only ; From Him is my salvation . 2 He only is my rock and my salvation , My stronghold ; I shall not be greatly shaken . 3 How long will you assail a man , That you may murder him, all of you, Like a leaning wall , like a tottering fence ? 4 They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position ; They delight in falsehood ; They bless with their mouth , But inwardly they curse . Selah . 5 My soul , wait in silence for God only , For my hope is from Him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation , My stronghold ; I shall not be shaken . 7 On God my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength , my refuge is in God .

8 Trust in Him at all times , O people ; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah . 9 Men e of low e degree e are only vanity and men e of rank are a lie ; In the balances they go up; They are together lighter than breath . 10 Do not trust in oppression And do not vainly hope in robbery ; If riches increase , do not set your heart upon them. 11 Once God has spoken ; Twice I have heard this : That power belongs to God ; 12 And lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord , For You recompense a man according to his work .

A Morning Prayer of Trust in God

31 O Lord , how my adversaries have increased ! Many are rising up against me. 2 Many are saying of my soul , "There is no deliverance for him in God ." Selah . 3 But You, O Lord , are a shield about me, My glory , and the One who lifts my head .

4 I was crying to the Lord with my voice , And He answered me from His holy mountain . Selah . 5 I lay down and slept ; I awoke , for the Lord sustains me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me round about . 7 Arise , O Lord ; save me, O my God ! For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek ; You have shattered the teeth of the wicked . 8 Salvation belongs to the Lord ; Your blessing be upon Your people ! Selah .
