4 Surely they intend to topple me

from my lofty place;

they take delight in lies.

With their mouths they bless,

but in their hearts they curse.

5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God;

my hope comes from him.

6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency:

They delight in lies:

They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

5 My soul, wait thou only upon God;

For my expectation is from him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation:

He is my defence; I shall not be moved.

4 They plan to topple me from my high position.

They delight in telling lies about me.

They praise me to my face

but curse me in their hearts.
