| Chapter 62 |
1 |
A psalm of David when he was in the desert of Edom. --
|
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! --
|
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. --
|
4 |
For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips shall praise. --
|
5 |
Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands. --
|
6 |
Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips. --
|
7 |
If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning: --
|
8 |
because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings: --
|
9 |
my soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me. --
|
10 |
But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth: --
|
11 |
They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes. --
|
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. --
