Psalms 62

Brenton(i) 1 (61:1) For the end, a Psalm of David for Idithun. Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation. 2 (61:2) For he is my God, and my saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved very much. 3 (61:3) How long will ye assault a man? ye are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge. 4 (61:4) They only took counsel to set at nought mine honour: I ran in thirst: with their mouth they blessed, but with their heart they cursed. Pause. 5 (61:5) Nevertheless do thou, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him is my patient hope. 6 (61:6) For he is my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved. 7 (61:7) In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God. 8 (61:8) Hope in him, all ye congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. Pause. 9 (61:9) 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. 10 (61:10) Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it. 11 (61:11) God has spoken once, and I have heard these two things, that power is of God; 12 (61:12) and mercy is thine, O Lord; for thou wilt recompense every one according to his works.
