Psalms 62

¹A Psalm of David when he was in the desert of Juda.

²O God my God to thee I watch, from the morning light. My soul hath thirsted to thee, my flesh to thee very many ways.

³In a desert land, and inaccessible, and without water, so in the holy have I appeared to thee, that I might see thy strength, and thy glory.

⁴Because thy mercy is better than lives, my lips shall praise thee.

⁵So will I bless thee in my life: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.

⁶As with marrow and fatness let my soul be filled: and my mouth shall praise with lips of exultation.

⁷If I have been mindful of thee upon my bed, in the morning I will meditate on thee:

⁸because thou hast been my helper.

⁹And in the covert of thy wings I will rejoice, my soul hath cleaved after thee: thy right hand hath received me.

¹⁰But they in vain have sought my soul, they shall enter into the inferior parts of the earth.

¹¹They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.

¹²But the king shall rejoice in God, all shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of those that speak wicked things.
