New Living Translation NLT
1 (62-1) <A psalm of David while he was in the desert of Edom.> (62-2) O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
1
O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water.
2 (62-3) In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
2
I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory.
3 (62-4) For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips will praise.
3
Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you!
4 (62-5) Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
4
I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer.
5 (62-6) Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
5
You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy.
6 (62-7) If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:
6
I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night.
7 (62-8) Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:
7
Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.
8 (62-9) My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.
8
I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely.
9 (62-10) But they have fought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
9
But those plotting to destroy me will come to ruin. They will go down into the depths of the earth.
10 (62-11) They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
10
They will die by the sword and become the food of jackals.
11 (62-12) But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
11
But the king will rejoice in God. All who swear to tell the truth will praise him, while liars will be silenced.
