God Alone Trust
For God my soul waits in silence,
Since from Him comes my salvation;
Because He is my best defense,
Against all of the temptation.
He is my rock and salvation,
My fortress not greatly shaken;
He calms me from my vexation,
Knowing I am not forsaken.
How long will they attack a man,
Battered like a tottering fence;
He has already in His plan,
For slaying you in my defense.
They plan to thrust Him from up high,
Taking pleasure in this falsehood;
Building a tower in the sky,
For reaching Him thinking they could.
My soul waits in silence for God,
Because in Him whence comes my hope;
I proceed to honor and laud,
Perseverance helps me to cope.
God is my salvation and strength,
My glory and my mighty rock;
To persevere at any length,
In prayer as I constantly talk.
I put trust in Him at all times,
Before Him I pour out my heart;
For He has forgiven my crimes,
So that I can have a new start.
Those of low grade are vanity,
The elite full of delusion;
Both are filled with insanity,
Living life with an illusion.
Never put trust in extortion,
Set no hopes on a robbery;
It just creates a distortion,
In causing prideful snobbery.
Steadfast love belongs to the Lord,
Rendered according to his deeds;
If he remains in one accord,
And be deserving of his needs.
