Psalms 61
1For the end, a Psalm of David for Jeduthun. 1
2Shall not my soul be subjected to God? 1 For of him is my salvation. 1
3For he is my God and my Savior; 1 My helper, I shall not be moved very much. 1
4How long will ye assault a man? 1 Ye are all slaughtering 1 As with a bowed wall and a broken hedge. 1
5They only took counsel to set at nought mine honor: 1 I ran in thirst: 1 With their mouth they blessed, but with their heart they cursed. Pause. 1
6Nevertheless do thou, my soul, be subjected to God; 1 For of him is my patient hope. 1
7For he is my God and my Savior; 1 My helper, I shall not be moved. 1
8In God is my salvation and my glory: 1 He is the God of my help, and my hope is in God. 1
9Hope in him, all ye congregation of the people; 1 Pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. Pause. 1
10But the sons of men are vain; 1 The sons of men are false, so as to be deceitful in the balances; 1 They are all alike formed out of vanity. 1
11Trust not in unrighteousness, 1 And lust not after robberies: 1 If wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it. 1
12God has spoken once, and I have heard these two things, 1 That power is of God;
13and mercy is thine, O Lord; 1 For thou wilt recompense every one according to his works.
