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.

¹For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David. Hear my cry, God. Listen to 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, I will call to you 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 you have been a refuge for me, 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 dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah.

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

⁵For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

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

⁶You will prolong the king’s life. His years will be for generations.

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

⁷He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they 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 I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows daily.
