7. My salvation and my honour depend on God;he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8. Trust in him at all times, you people;pour out your hearts to him,for God is our refuge.
9. Surely the lowborn are but a breath,the highborn are but a lie.If weighed on a balance, they are nothing;together they are only a breath.
10. Do not trust in extortionor put vain hope in stolen goods;though your riches increase,do not set your heart on them.
11. One thing God has spoken,two things I have heard:‘Power belongs to you, God,
12. and with you, Lord, is unfailing love’;and, ‘You reward everyoneaccording to what they have done.’
