[For the end, a Psalm of David for Idithun.]
[1]Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation. [No book]
[2]For he is my God, and my saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved very much. [No book]
[3]How long will ye assault a man? ye are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge. [No book]
[4]They only took counsel to set at nought mine honour: I ran in thirst: with their mouth they blessed, but with their heart they cursed. Pause. [No book]
[5]Nevertheless do thou, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him is my patient hope. [No book]
[6]For he is my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved. [No book]
[7]In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God. [No book]
[8]Hope in him, all ye congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. Pause. [No book]
[9]But the sons of men are vain; the sons of men are false, so as to be deceitful in the balances; they are all alike formed out of vanity. [No book]
[10]Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it. [No book]
[11]God has spoken once, and I have heard these two things, that power is of God; [No book]
[12]and mercy is thine, O Lord; for thou wilt recompense every one according to his works. [No book]
