Psalms 61

¹Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David

²Will my soul not be subject to God? For from him is my salvation

³Yes, he himself is my God and my salvation. He is my supporter; I will be moved no more

⁴How is it that you rush against a man? Every one of you puts to death, as if you were pulling down a ruined wall, leaning over and falling apart

⁵So, truly, they intended to reject my price. I ran in thirst. They blessed with their mouth and cursed with their heart

⁶Yet, truly, my soul will be subject to God. For from him is my patience

⁷For he is my God and my Savior. He is my helper; I will not be expelled

⁸In God is my salvation and my glory. He is the God of my help, and my hope is in God

⁹All peoples gathered together: trust in him. Pour out your hearts in his sight. God is our helper for eternity

¹⁰So, truly, the sons of men are untrustworthy. The sons of men are liars in the scales, so that, by emptiness, they may deceive among themselves

¹¹Do not trust in iniquity, and do not desire plunder. If riches flow toward you, do not be willing to set your heart on them

¹²God has spoken once. I have heard two things: that power belongs to God

¹³and that mercy belongs to you, O Lord. For you will repay each one according to his works
