Psalm 61 — The Holy Bible

For the End, for Jeduthun; a psalm by David.

Shall not my soul be submissive to God?

For from Him is my salvation.

For He is my God and my savior,

My protector; I shall be shaken no more.

How long will you attack a man?

All of you murder him;

You attack him as you would a leaning wall and a broken hedge.

They also planned to remove my honor;

They ran with a lie;

They blessed with their mouth, and they cursed with their heart.

(Pause)

However, be submissive to God, O my soul,

For my patient endurance is from Him.

For He is my God and my savior,

My protector; I shall never 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 you congregation of people;

Pour out your hearts before Him;

God is our helper.

(Pause)

But the sons of men are useless;

The sons of men are liars with the yokes of wrongdoing;

They are altogether useless.

Do not hope in wrongdoing,

And do not hunger for booty;

If riches flow in,

Do not set your heart on them.

God spoke once;

I heard these two things:

That power is of God, and to You, O Lord, is mercy;

For You will repay every man according to his works.
