My soul rejoices in the Lord, whose faithfulness is proved,
A rock and stronghold is my God, I never shall be moved.
In God alone my honor rests, who brings deliverance sure,
My rock of strength is found in God, my refuge most secure.
All people are but vanity, the best of us a lie,
Both high and low estate combined, are lighter than a sigh.
In your own strength then place no hope, for riches have no lust,
Though for a moment they appeal, they are not worth your trust.
