1   For God alone my soul waits in silence;           from him comes my salvation. 2   He alone is my rock and my salvation,           my fortress; I shall never be shaken. 3   How long will you assail a person,           will you batter your victim, all of you,           as you would a leaning wall, a tottering fence? 4   Their only plan is to bring down a person…
