Psalms 62

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 For the leader; al Jeduthun. A psalm of David.	1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the desert of Idumea.
2 My soul rests in God alone, from whom comes my salvation.	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.
3 God alone is my rock and salvation, my secure height; I shall never fall.	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.
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?	4 For your mercy is better than life itself. It is you my lips will praise.
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	5 So will I bless you in my life, and I will lift up my hands in your name.
6 My soul, be at rest in God alone, from whom comes my hope.	6 Let my soul be filled, as if with marrow and fatness; and my mouth will give praise with exultant lips.
7 God alone is my rock and my salvation, my secure height; I shall not fall.	7 When I have remembered you on my bed in the morning, I will meditate on you.
8 My safety and glory are with God, my strong rock and refuge.	8 For you have been my helper. And I will exult under the cover of your wings.
9 Trust God at all times, my people! Pour out your hearts to God our refuge! Selah	9 My soul has clung close to you. Your right hand has supported me.
10 Mortals are a mere breath, the powerful but an illusion; On a balance they rise; together they are lighter than air.	10 Truly, these ones have sought my soul in vain. They will enter into the lower parts of the earth.
11 Do not trust in extortion; in plunder put no empty hope. Though wealth increase, do not set your heart upon it.	11 They will be delivered into the hand of the sword. They will be the portions of foxes.
12 One thing God has said; two things I have heard: Power belongs to God;	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.
13 3) so too, Lord, does kindness, And you render to each of us according to our deeds.
