Psalms 61

1Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David.

1 Hear my cry, O God; Attend unto my prayer.

2Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.

2From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.

3For thou hast been a refuge for me, A strong tower from the enemy.

4How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.

4I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. [Selah

5But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.

5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: Thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

6But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.

6Thou wilt prolong the king’s life; His years shall be as many generations.

7For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.

7He shall abide before God for ever: Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

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

8So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, That I may daily perform my vows.

9Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.

10But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.

11Trust not in iniquity, and covet not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.
