Brenton Septuagint · 13 verses · 6 questions below

For the end, a Psalm of David for Idithun.

Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation.

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

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

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.

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

For he [is] my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not 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 ye congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. Pause.

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.

Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it.

God has spoken once, [and] I have heard these two things, that power is of God;

and mercy is thine, O Lord; for thou wilt every one according to his works.
