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 seek you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry 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
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.
3 (62-4) For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips will praise.
3
Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will 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
So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call on your name.
5 (62-6) Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
5
My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast, and my mouth praises you with joyful lips
6 (62-7) If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:
6
when I think of you on my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
7 (62-8) Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:
7
for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.
8 (62-9) My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.
8
My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
9 (62-10) But they have fought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
9
But those who seek to destroy my life shall 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 shall be given over to the power of the sword, they shall be prey for 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 shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped.
