PSALMS
- 6For Thou, O God, hast heard my vows;
- Thou hast granted the heritage of those that fear Thy name.
- 7Mayest Thou add days unto the king's days!
- May his years be as many generations!
- 8May he be enthroned before God for ever!
- Appoint mercy and truth, that they may preserve him.
- 9So will I sing praise unto Thy name for ever,
- That I may daily perform my vows.
62 For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
- 2Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness;
- From Him cometh my salvation.
- 3He only is my rock and my salvation,
- My high tower, I shall not be greatly moved.
- 4How long will ye set upon a man,
- That ye may slay him, all of you,
- As a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
- 5They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies;
- They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah
- 6Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul;
- For from Him cometh my hope.
- 7He only is my rock and my salvation,
- My high tower, I shall not be moved.
- 8Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory;
- The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
- 9Trust in Him at all times, ye people;
- Pour out your heart before Him;
- God is a refuge for us. Selah
- 10Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie;
- If they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.
- 11Trust not in oppression,
- And put not vain hope in robbery;
- If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
- 12God hath spoken once,
- Twice have I heard this:
- That strength belongeth unto God;
- 13Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy;
- For Thou renderest to every man according to his work.
63 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
- 2O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee;
- My soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee,
- In a dry and weary land, where no water is.
- 3So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary,
- To see Thy power and Thy glory.
- 4For Thy lovingkindness is better than life;
- My lips shall praise Thee.
- 5So will I bless Thee as long as I live;
- In Thy name will I lift up my hands.
- 6My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness;
- And my mouth doth praise Thee with joyful lips;
