Psalms. 61. (62) For the end, a Psalm of David for Idithun. Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation. For he is my God, and my saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved very much. How long will you° assault a man? you° are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge. They only took counsel to set at nothing my honour: I ran in thirst: with their mouth they blessed, but with their heart they cursed. Pause. Nevertheless do you, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him is my patient hope. For he is my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God. Hope in him, all you° congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. Pause. But the sons of men are vain; the sons of men are false, so as to be deceitful in the balances; they are all alike formed out of vanity. Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it. God has spoken once, and I have heard these two things, that power is of God; and mercy is yours, O Lord; for you will recompense every one according to his works.
