61:1 Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David.
In finem, pro Idithun. Psalmus David.

61:2 Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.
Nonne Deo subjecta erit anima mea? ab ipso enim salutare meum.

61:3 For he is my God and my Saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.
Nam et ipse Deus meus et salutaris meus; susceptor meus, non movebor amplius.

61:4 How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.
Quousque irruitis in hominem? interficitis universi vos, tamquam parieti inclinato et maceriæ depulsæ.

61:5 But they have thought to cast away my price, I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.
Verumtamen pretium meum cogitaverunt repellere; cucurri in siti: ore suo benedicebant, et corde suo maledicebant.

61:6 But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.
Verumtamen Deo subjecta esto, anima mea, quoniam ab ipso patientia mea:

61:7 For he is my God and my Saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.
quia ipse Deus meus et salvator meus, adjutor meus, non emigrabo.

61:8 In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
In Deo salutare meum et gloria mea; Deus auxilii mei, et spes mea in Deo est.

61:9 Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him: God is our helper for ever.
Sperate in eo, omnis congregatio populi; effundite coram illo corda vestra: Deus adjutor noster in æternum.

61:10 But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.
Verumtamen vani filii hominum, mendaces filii hominum in stateris, ut decipiant ipsi de vanitate in idipsum.

61:11 Trust not in iniquity, and covet not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.
Nolite sperare in iniquitate, et rapinas nolite concupiscere; divitiæ si affluant, nolite cor apponere.

61:12 God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,
Semel locutus est Deus; duo hæc audivi: quia potestas Dei est,

61:13 and mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
et tibi, Domine, misericordia: quia tu reddes unicuique juxta opera sua.
