Psalm 62–63

Psalm LXII.

To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.

Truly ^amy soul waiteth upon God:

From him cometh my salvation.

^2bHe only is my rock and my salvation;

He is my defence; ^cI shall not be greatly moved.

³How long will ye imagine mischief against a man?

Ye shall be slain all of you:

^dAs a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

⁴They only consult to cast him down from his ^eexcellency:

They delight in lies:

^fThey bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

^5gMy soul, wait thou only upon God;

For my expectation is from him.

^6hHe only is my rock and my salvation:

He is my defence; ^cI shall not be moved.

⁷ⁱIn God is my salvation and my glory:

The rock of my strength, and my ^krefuge, is in God.

^8lTrust in him at all times; ye people,

^mPour out your heart before him:

God is ^ka refuge for us. Selah.

⁹ⁿSurely ^omen of low degree are ^npvanity, and ^omen of high degree are ^qa lie:

To be laid in the balance, ^rthey are altogether lighter than ^npvanity.

¹⁰Trust not in oppression,

And ^rrbecome not vain in robbery:

^sIf riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

¹¹God hath spoken ^tonce;

^tTwice have I heard this;

That ^upower belongeth unto God.

¹²Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth ^xmercy:

For ^ythou renderest to every man according to his work.

Psalm LXIII.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

O God, thou art my God; ^aearly will I seek thee:

^bMy soul thirsteth for thee,

^bMy flesh longeth for thee,

In a ^cdry and thirsty land, where no water is;

²To see ^ccthy power and thy glory,

So as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

³Because ^dthy lovingkindness is ^ebetter than life,

My lips shall praise thee.

⁴Thus will I bless thee ^fwhile I live:

I ^gwill lift up my hands in thy name.

^5hMy soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;

And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

⁶When ⁱI remember thee upon my bed,

And meditate on thee in ^jthe night watches.

⁷Because thou hast been ^kmy help,

Therefore ^lin the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

⁸My soul followeth hard after thee:

Thy right hand ^mupholdeth me.

⁹ⁿBut those that seek my soul, to destroy it,

Shall go into ^othe lower parts of the earth.

¹⁰They shall fall by the sword:

They shall be a portion for foxes.

¹¹But ^pthe king shall rejoice in God;

Every one that ^qsweareth by him shall glory:

But ^rthe mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
