my salvation comes from him.#Ps 33:20; 37:39

2He alone is my rock and my salvation,#Dt 32:15; 2Sm 22:47

my stronghold; I will never be shaken.#Ps 37:24; 55:22

3How long will you threaten a man?

Will all of you attack#62:3 Some Hb mss read you be struck down

as if he were a leaning wall

or a tottering fence?#Is 30:13

4They only plan to bring him down

from his high position.

They take pleasure in lying;

they bless with their mouths,

but they curse inwardly.#Ps 4:2; 55:21Selah

5Rest in God alone, my soul,

for my hope comes from him.#Ps 71:5

6He alone is my rock and my salvation,#Ps 89:26; 95:1

my stronghold; I will not be shaken.#Ps 16:8; 21:7

My refuge is in God.#Ps 18:2

8Trust in him at all times, you people;

pour out your hearts before him.

God is our refuge.#Ps 91:2; 118:8–9Selah

9Common people are only a vapor;

important people, an illusion.

Together on a scale,

they weigh less than#62:9 Lit they go up more than a vapor.#Ps 39:5–6,11; Ec 1:2; Is 40:17

don’t set your heart on it.#Jb 31:24–25; Pr 11:28; Mk 4:19; 1Tm 6:10,17–19

I have heard this twice:

strength belongs to God,#Jb 40:5
