For the end, a Psalm of David for Idithun.
—
Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation.
—
For he is my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved very much.
—
How long will ye assault a man? ye are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge.
—
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.
—
Nevertheless do thou, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him [is] my patient hope.
—
For he [is] my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved.
—
In God [is] my salvation and my glory: [he is] the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
—
Hope in him, all ye congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. Pause.
—
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.
—
Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it.
—
God has spoken once, [and] I have heard these two things, that power is of God;
—
and mercy is thine, O Lord; for thou wilt recompense every one according to his works.
