Psalms

Chapter 61

  1. 1

    Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David.

  2. 2

    Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.

  3. 3

    For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.

  4. 4

    How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.

  5. 5

    But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.

  6. 6

    But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.

  7. 7

    For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.

  8. 8

    In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.

  9. 9

    Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.

  10. 10

    But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.

  11. 11

    Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.

  12. 12

    God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,

  13. 13

    And mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
