1. Truly, my Soul doth wait on God,
Salvation comes from him alone.
2. My Rock, my Safety, high Abode,
He is, I shall not be o'er thrown.
3. How long, against a Man, will ye
Plot Mischief? as a bowing Wall,
Or a loose Fence, you all shall be;
And into sudden Ruin fall.

4. Their great Consult is, to suppress
My Dignity with lying Arts;
If e'er their Mouth is forc'd to bless,
Yet Cursing rages in their Hearts.
5. My Soul wait thou on God alone;
From him my Hopes have stedfast prov'd.
6. My Rock, and Safety, him I own;
My high Tow'r, I shall not be mov'd.

7. In God my Safety is secure.
My future Glory and Renown;
The Rock in whom my Strength is sure,
My Refuge is in God alone.
8. Ye People, in his Pow'r, and Grace,
At all Times your fix'd Trust repose;
Pour out your Hearts before his Face:
God is our Refuge from our Foes.

9. The vulgar are but vain, we know,
And great Men are Deceit, and Lies;
If both you in the Ballance throw,
Lighter than Vanity they rise.
10. Trust not in Methods of Deceit,
Or Violence; be not so vain;
If by just Means your Wealth grows great,
Set not your Heart on such low Gain.

11. Once spoken hath the God of Might,
Twice have I heard this Word aloud;
That boundless Pow'r by sov'rain Right,
Doth appertain alone to God.
12. Not only Pow'r but wondrous Grace,
Also, O Lord, belongs to Thee;
Therefore, to all the human Race,
Thou render'st, as their Works shall be.
