| 2 | אַךְ אֶל־אֱלֹהִים דּוּמִיָּה נַפְשִׁי מִמֶּנּוּ יְשׁוּעָתִי | Akh el E-lo-hím du-mi-yáh naf-shí; mi-mé-nu ye-shu-a-tí. | For God alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation. |
| 3 | אַךְ־הוּא צוּרִי וִישׁוּעָתִי מִשְׂגַּבִּי לֹא־אֶמּוֹט רַבָּה | Akh hu tzurí vi-shu-a-tí; mis-gab-bí lo e-mót ra-báh. | He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken. |

Sé-lah. | They only plan to thrust him down from his high position. They take pleasure in falsehood. They bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah. |
| 6 | אַךְ לֵאלֹהִים דּוֹמִּי נַפְשִׁי כִּי־מִמֶּנּוּ תִּקְוָתִי | Akh le-E-lo-hím dom-mí naf-shí; ki mi-mé-nu tik-va-tí. | For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from Him. |
| 7 | אַךְ־הוּא צוּרִי וִישׁוּעָתִי מִשְׂגַּבִּי לֹא אֶמּוֹט | Akh hu tzurí vi-shu-a-tí; mis-gab-bí lo e-mót. | He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. |
| 8 | עַל־אֱלֹהִים יִשְׁעִי וּכְבוֹדִי צוּר־עֻזִּי מַחְסִי בֵּאלֹהִים | Al E-lo-hím yish-í ve-khvo-dí; tzur u-zí makh-sí be-E-lo-hím. | On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God. |
