Psalms 61
1Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation. 1
2For he is my God, and my saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved + 61:2 Or, any more. very much. 1
3How long will you⌃ assault a man? you⌃ are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge. 1
4They 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. 1
5Nevertheless do you, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him is my patient hope. 1
6For he is my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved. 1
7+ 61:7 Gr. on. In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God. 1
8Hope in him, all you⌃ congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. Pause. 1
9But the sons of men are vain; the sons of men are false, so as to be deceitful in the balances; they are + 61:9 Gr. altogether. all alike formed out of vanity. 1
10Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it. 1
11God has spoken once, and I have heard these two things, that power is of God; 1
12and mercy is your, O Lord; for you will recompense every one according to his works.
