Psalms
61-63
Psa
61:1 Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.
Psa
61:2 From the end of the earth, I will call to you, when my heart is
overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Psa
61:3 For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the
enemy.
Psa
61:4 I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the
shelter of your wings. Selah.
Psa
61:5 For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the
heritage of those who fear your name.
Psa
61:6 You will prolong the king's life; his years shall be for
generations.
Psa
61:7 He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever. Appoint your
loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
Psa
61:8 So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill
my vows daily.
Psa
62:1 My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.
Psa
62:2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress-- I will
never be greatly shaken.
Psa
62:3 How long will you assault a man, would all of you throw him
down, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
Psa
62:4 They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They
delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse
inwardly. Selah.
Psa
62:5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is
from him.
Psa
62:6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not
be shaken.
Psa
62:7 With God is my salvation and my honor. The rock of my strength,
and my refuge, is in God.
Psa
62:8 Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart
before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.
Psa
62:9 Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high
degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together
lighter than a breath.
Psa
62:10 Don't trust in oppression. Don't become vain in robbery. If
riches increase, don't set your heart on them.
Psa
62:11 God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power
belongs to God.
Psa
62:12 Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward
every man according to his work.
Psa
63:1 God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts
for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there
is no water.
Psa
63:2 So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and
your glory.
Psa
63:3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall
praise you.
Psa
63:4 So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in
your name.
Psa
63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth
shall praise you with joyful lips,
Psa
63:6 when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night
watches.
Psa
63:7 For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your
wings.
Psa
63:8 My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
Psa
63:9 But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the
lower parts of the earth.
Psa
63:10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall
be jackal food.
Psa
63:11 But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him
will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be
silenced.
