1 Vnto the end, for Idithun a Psalme of Dauid.
2 Shal not my soule be subiect to God? for of him is my saluation.
3 For he is my God, and my sauiour: my receiuer I shal be moued no more.
4 How long set you violently vpon a man: you al doe kil: as it were vpon a wal, that is leaning, and a wal shaken.
5 But yet they thought to repel my price, I ranne in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, and cursed with their hart.
6 But yet my soule be thou subiect to God: because my patience is from him.
7 Because he is my God, and my sauiour: my helper I shal not remoue.
8 In God is my saluation, and my glorie: the God of my helpe, and my hope is in God.
9 Hope in him al ye the congregation of people: powre out your harts before him, God is our helper for euer.
10 But yet the children of men are vaine, the children of men are liers in balances: that they may deceiue by vanitie together.
11 Hope not in iniquitie, and couete not robberies: if riches abound set not your hart vpon
them.
12 Once hath God spoken, these two things haue I heard:
13 That powre is Gods, and mercie ô Lord is to thee: because thou wilt render to euery one according to his workes.
