⁷ My salvation and my honor depend on God^[a];
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.^(A)
8 Trust in him at all times, you people;^(B)
    pour out your hearts to him,^(C)
    for God is our refuge.

⁹ Surely the lowborn^(D) are but a breath,^(E)
    the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance,^(F) they are nothing;
    together they are only a breath.
