62
1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Edom.
2 O God, my God, I cry to thee early;
My soul has thirsted for thee:
How often has my flesh longed after thee,
In a barren and trackless and dry land!
3 Thus have I appeared before thee in the sanctuary,
That I might see thy power and thy glory.
4 For thy mercy is better than life:
My lips shall praise thee.
5 Thus will I bless thee during my life:
I will lift up my hands in thy name.
6 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness;
And my joyful lips shall praise thy name.
7 Forasmuch as I have remembered thee on my bed:
In the early seasons I have meditated on thee.
8 For thou hast been my helper,
And in the shelter of thy wings will I rejoice.
9 My soul has kept very close behind thee:
Thy right hand has upheld me.
10 But they vainly sought after my soul;
They shall go into the lowest parts of the earth.
11 They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword;
They shall be portions for foxes.
12 But the king shall rejoice in God;
Everyone that swears by him shall be praised;
For the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
