  25. How much longer will all of youattack a manwho is no stronger than a broken down fence?You only want to bring him down from his place of honour;You take pleasure in lies.You speak words of blessing, but in your hearts you curse him.

  26. I depend on God alone; I put my hope in Him.He alone protects and saves me;He is my defender, and I shall never be defeated.My salvation and honour depend on God,He is my strong protector, He is my shelter!Trust in God at all times, my people.Tell Him all your troubles,For He is our refuge!

  27. Men are like a puff of breath,Great and small alike are worthlessPut them on the scales, and they weigh nothing:They are lighter than a mere breath! Don’t put your trust in violence:Don’t hope to gain anything by robbery;Even if your riches increaseDon’t depend on them!

  28. More than once I have heard God saythat power belongs to Himand that His love is constant.You yourself O Lord,reward everyone according to his deeds.Psalm 62
