Psalms 62

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the desert of Idumea.	1 Unto the end, for Idithun, 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 Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is 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 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.
4 For your mercy is better than life itself. It is you my lips will praise.	4 How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.
5 So will I bless you in my life, and I will lift up my hands in your name.	5 But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.
6 Let my soul be filled, as if with marrow and fatness; and my mouth will give praise with exultant lips.	6 But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.
7 When I have remembered you on my bed in the morning, I will meditate on you.	7 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.
8 For you have been my helper. And I will exult under the cover of your wings.	8 In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
9 My soul has clung close to you. Your right hand has supported me.	9 Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.
10 Truly, these ones have sought my soul in vain. They will enter into the lower parts of the earth.	10 But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.
11 They will be delivered into the hand of the sword. They will be the portions of foxes.	11 Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.
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 God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,
	13 and mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
