¹(62) For the end, a Psalm of David for Idithun. Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation.

¹Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

²For he is my God, and my savior; my helper, I shall not be moved very much.

²From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

³How long will you⌃ assault a man? you⌃ are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge.

³For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

⁴They only took counsel to set at nothing my honor: I ran in thirst: with their mouth they blessed, but with their heart they cursed. Pause.

⁴I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

⁵Nevertheless do you, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him [is] my patient hope.

⁵For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

⁶For he [is] my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved.

⁶Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.

⁷In God [is] my salvation and my glory: [he is] the God of my help, and my hope is in God.

⁷He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

⁸Hope in him, all you⌃ congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. Pause.

⁸So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
