Psalms 61 — Context

All peoples gathered together: trust in him. Pour out your hearts in his sight. God is our helper for eternity.

So, truly, the sons of men are untrustworthy. The sons of men are liars in the scales, so that, by emptiness, they may deceive among themselves.

Do not trust in iniquity, and do not desire plunder. If riches flow toward you, do not be willing to set your heart on them.

God has spoken once. I have heard two things: that power belongs to God,

and that mercy belongs to you, O Lord. For you will repay each one according to his works.
