Psalms 61

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINRevised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.1 To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer;
2 Will my soul not be subject to God? For from him is my salvation.2 from the end of the earth I call to thee, when my heart is faint. Lead thou me to the rock that is higher than I;
3 Yes, he himself is my God and my salvation. He is my supporter; I will be moved no more.3 for thou art my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy.
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 Let me dwell in thy tent for ever! Oh to be safe under the shelter of thy wings! [Selah]
5 So, truly, they intended to reject my price. I ran in thirst. They blessed with their mouth and cursed with their heart.5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows, thou hast given me the heritage of those who fear thy name.
6 Yet, truly, my soul will be subject to God. For from him is my patience.6 Prolong the life of the king; may his years endure to all generations!
7 For he is my God and my Savior. He is my helper; I will not be expelled.7 May he be enthroned for ever before God; bid steadfast love and faithfulness watch over him!
8 In God is my salvation and my glory. He is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.8 So will I ever sing praises to thy name, as I pay my vows day after day.
9 All peoples gathered together: trust in him. Pour out your hearts in his sight. God is our helper for eternity.
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.
