| 5My soul, be quiet before God, for from him comes my hope. | 5Rest in God alone, my soul, for my hope comes from Him. |
| 6He alone is my rock, my deliverance, and my high tower; nothing will shake me. | 6He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I will not be shaken. |

| 9Human beings are a mere vapor, while people in high positions are not what they appear. When they are placed on the scales, they weigh nothing; even when weighed together, they are less than nothing. | 9Men are only a vapor; exalted men, an illusion. Weighed in the scales, they go up; together they are less than a vapor. |
| 10Don't trust in oppression or put false hope in stealing; if you become wealthy, do not set your heart on it. | 10Place no trust in oppression, or false hope in robbery. If wealth increases, pay no attention to it. |
| 11God spoke once, but I heard it twice, "Power belongs to God." | 11God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: strength belongs to God, |
| 12Also to you, Lord, belongs gracious love, because you reward each person according to what he does. | 12and faithful love belongs to You, LORD. For You repay each according to his works. |
