I wait patiently for God to save me;

I depend on him alone.

He alone protects and saves me;

he is my defender,

and I shall never be defeated.

How much longer will all of you attack a man

who is no stronger than a broken-down fence?

You only want to bring him down

from his place of honor; you take pleasure in lies.

You speak words of blessing,

but in your heart you curse him.

I depend on God alone;

I put my hope in him.

He alone protects and saves me;

he is my defender,

and I shall never be defeated.

My salvation and honor depend on God;

he is my strong protector;

he is my shelter.

Trust in God at all times, my people.

Tell him all your troubles,

for he is our refuge.

Psalm 62:1-8
