‘Look! This man did not trust God to keep him safe.
    Instead, he trusted in his riches.
He thought that he could be cruel,
    and that would keep him safe.’
But I am like a strong olive tree
    that grows in the house of God.
I will always trust in God's faithful love for his people.
I will always praise you, God,
    for what you have done.
I will trust you to help me,
    together with all those who serve you.
