1 For the end, a Psalm of David for Idithun.
2 Shall not my soul be subjected to God ? for of him is my salvation.
3 For he is my God and my Saviour ; my helper, I shall not be moved very much. Notesn1 Or, any more.
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 honour : 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 Saviour ; 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. Notesn1 Gr. on.
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. Notesn1 Gr. altogether.
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.
