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