| Chapter 61 |
1 | Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David.
|
2 | Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.
|
3 | For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.
|
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 | But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.
|
6 | But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.
|
7 | For he is my God and my saviour: he is 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 | Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.
|
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 | Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.
|
12 | God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,
|
13 | and mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
