1 For God alone my soul awaits in quiet silence still; from him alone salvation comes. 2 My rock of strength is he; My rescue comes from him alone; my fortress strong is he. In him alone I am secure; I’ll not be greatly moved. 2 How long will your assault endure and continue batt’ring as if against a leaning wall or a fence that’s tott’ring? 3 My foes conspire to bring me down; they scorn my troubled state. 4 Their lips are quick to sound my praise, but in their hearts they hate. 5 For God alone my soul awaits in quiet silence still; my hope in him is ever sure. 6 my rock of strength is he; my rescue comes from him alone; my fortress strong is he. In him alone I am secure; I’ll not be greatly moved. 7 My aid and honor come from God, my refuge strong and sure. 8 Let all God’s servants trust the LORD; in him we are secure. 9 The great of earth are less than dust; all mortal strength is vain. 10 And fools alone rely on wealth or prize ill-gotten gain. 11 For God has truly spoken once; he twice to me made known: that strength and pow’r belong to God and unto him alone; 12 And steadfast love belongs to you, our faithful, loving Lord. Our every deed, for good or ill, you surely will reward. – Trinity Psalter Hymnal, alt.
