engLXXup: Psalms 61

=> Chapters

 [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.
