Psalms 61

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.1 Unto the end, in hymns, for David.
2 Will my soul not be subject to God? For from him is my salvation.2 Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer,
3 Yes, he himself is my God and my salvation. He is my supporter; I will be moved no more.3 To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me;
4 How 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.4 for thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.
5 So, truly, they intended to reject my price. I ran in thirst. They blessed with their mouth and cursed with their heart.5 In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.
6 Yet, truly, my soul will be subject to God. For from him is my patience.6 For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.
7 For he is my God and my Savior. He is my helper; I will not be expelled.7 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.
8 In God is my salvation and my glory. He is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.8 He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search ?
9 All peoples gathered together: trust in him. Pour out your hearts in his sight. God is our helper for eternity.9 So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.
10 So, 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.
11 Do not trust in iniquity, and do not desire plunder. If riches flow toward you, do not be willing to set your heart on them.
12 God has spoken once. I have heard two things: that power belongs to God,
13 and that mercy belongs to you, O Lord. For you will repay each one according to his works.
