engLXXup: Psalms 62

=> Chapters

 [1] A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Edom.

[2] O God, my God, I cry to thee early;

My soul has thirsted for thee:

How often has my flesh longed after thee,

In a barren and trackless and dry land!

[3] Thus have I appeared before thee in the sanctuary,

That I might see thy power and thy glory.

[4] For thy mercy is better than life:

My lips shall praise thee.

[5] Thus will I bless thee during my life:

I will lift up my hands in thy name.

[6] Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness;

And my joyful lips shall praise thy name.

[7] Forasmuch as I have remembered thee on my bed:

In the early seasons I have meditated on thee.

[8] For thou hast been my helper,

And in the shelter of thy wings will I rejoice.

[9] My soul has kept very close behind thee:

Thy right hand has upheld me.

[10] But they vainly sought after my soul;

They shall go into the lowest parts of the earth.

[11] They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword;

They shall be portions for foxes.

[12] But the king shall rejoice in God;

Everyone that swears by him shall be praised;

For the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
