1 (61-1) <Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David.> (61-2) Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.
1

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall never be shaken.
3 (61-4) How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.
3
How long will you assail a person, will you batter your victim, all of you, as you would a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
4 (61-5) But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.
4
Their only plan is to bring down a person of prominence. They take pleasure in falsehood; they bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. (Selah)
5 (61-6) But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.
5
For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him.

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. (Selah)
9 (61-10) But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.
9
Those of low estate are but a breath, those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath.
10 (61-11) Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.
10
Put no confidence in extortion, and set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
11 (61-12) God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,
11
Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God,
12 (61-13) And mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
12
and steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord. For you repay to all according to their work.
