Psalms 62

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the desert of Idumea.	1 For the leader; al Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
2 O God, my God: to you, I keep vigil until first light. For you, my soul has thirsted, to you my body, in so many ways.	2 My soul rests in God alone, from whom comes my salvation.
3 By a deserted land, both inaccessible and waterless, so I have appeared in the sanctuary before you, in order to behold your virtue and your glory.	3 God alone is my rock and salvation, my secure height; I shall never fall.
4 For your mercy is better than life itself. It is you my lips will praise.	4 How long will you set upon people, all of you beating them down, As though they were a sagging fence or a battered wall?
5 So will I bless you in my life, and I will lift up my hands in your name.	5 Even from my place on high they plot to dislodge me. They delight in lies; they bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah
6 Let my soul be filled, as if with marrow and fatness; and my mouth will give praise with exultant lips.	6 My soul, be at rest in God alone, from whom comes my hope.
7 When I have remembered you on my bed in the morning, I will meditate on you.	7 God alone is my rock and my salvation, my secure height; I shall not fall.
8 For you have been my helper. And I will exult under the cover of your wings.	8 My safety and glory are with God, my strong rock and refuge.
9 My soul has clung close to you. Your right hand has supported me.	9 Trust God at all times, my people! Pour out your hearts to God our refuge! Selah
10 Truly, these ones have sought my soul in vain. They will enter into the lower parts of the earth.	10 Mortals are a mere breath, the powerful but an illusion; On a balance they rise; together they are lighter than air.
11 They will be delivered into the hand of the sword. They will be the portions of foxes.	11 Do not trust in extortion; in plunder put no empty hope. Though wealth increase, do not set your heart upon it.
12 Truly, the king will rejoice in God: all those who swear by him will be praised, because the mouth of those who speak iniquity has been blocked.	12 One thing God has said; two things I have heard: Power belongs to God;
	13 3) so too, Lord, does kindness, And you render to each of us according to our deeds.
