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