Psalms - Chapter 62

Passage

A psalm of David while he was in the desert of Edom. O God, my God, to you do I watch at break of day. For you my soul has thirsted; for you my flesh, O how many ways! In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before you, to see your power and your glory. For your mercy is better than lives: you my lips will praise. Thus will I bless you all my life long: and in your name I will lift up my hands. Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips. If I have remembered you upon my bed, I will meditate on you in the morning: Because you have been my helper. And I will rejoice under the cover of your wings: My soul has stuck close to you: your right hand has received me. But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth: They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes. 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.
