Psalm 62
My soul waits in silence for God
: for from him comes my salvation.
He only is my rock and my salvation
: my strong tower, so that I shall never be moved.
How long will you all plot against a man to destroy him
: as though he were a leaning fence or a buckling wall?
Their design is to thrust him from his height,
and their delight is in lies
: they bless with their lips, but inwardly they curse.
Nevertheless, my soul, wait in silence for God
: for from him comes my hope.
He only is my rock and my salvation
: my strong tower, so that I shall not be moved.
In God is my deliverance and my glory
: God is my strong rock and my shelter.
Trust in him at all times, O my people
: pour out your hearts before him, for God is our refuge.
The children of men are but breath,
the children of men are a lie
: place them in the scales and they fly upward,
they are as light as air.
Put no trust in extortion, do not grow worthless by robbery
: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
God has spoken once, twice have I heard him say
: that power belongs to God,
That to the Lord belongs a constant goodness
: for you reward a man according to his works.
Psalm 63
O God, you are my God
: eagerly will I seek you.
My soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you
: as a dry and thirsty land where no water is.
So it was when I beheld you in the sanctuary
: and saw your power and your glory.
For your unchanging goodness is better than life
: therefore my lips shall praise you.
And so I will bless you as long as I live
: and in your name will I lift my hands on high.
My longing shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness
: my mouth shall praise you with exultant lips.
When I remember you upon my bed
: when I meditate upon you in the night watches,
How you have been my helper
: then I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings,
Then my soul clings to you
: and your right hand upholds me.
Those that seek my life are marked for destruction
: they shall go down to the deep places of the earth.
They shall be delivered to the sword
: they shall be a portion for jackals.
The king will rejoice in God,
and all who take oaths on his name shall glory
: but the mouths of liars shall be stopped.
