God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.

For the music director; [a]according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

62 (A)My soul waits in silence for God alone;
From Him (B)comes my salvation.
He alone is my (C)rock and my salvation,
My (D)stronghold; I will not be greatly shaken.

How long will you attack a man,
That you may murder him, all of you,
Like a (E)leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
They have planned only to thrust him down from his high position;
They (F)delight in falsehood;
They (G)bless with [b]their mouth,
But inwardly they curse. Selah

My soul, (H)wait in silence for God alone,
For my hope is from Him.
He alone is (I)my rock and my salvation,
My refuge; I will not be shaken.
My (J)salvation and my glory rest on God;
The rock of my strength, my (K)refuge is in God.
(L)Trust in Him at all times, you people;
(M)Pour out your hearts before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah

People of (N)low standing are only (O)breath, and people of rank are a (P)lie;
In the (Q)balances they go up.
Together they are lighter than breath.
10 (R)Do not trust in oppression,
And do not vainly rely on (S)robbery;
If wealth increases, (T)do not set your heart on it.

11 God has (U)spoken [c]once;
[d]Twice I have heard this:
That (V)power belongs to God;
12 And faithfulness (W)is Yours, Lord,
For You (X)reward a person according to his work.

The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God.

A Psalm of David, [e]when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

63 God, (Y)You are my God; I shall be watching for You;
My soul (Z)thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,
In a (AA)dry and exhausted land where there is no water.
So have I (AB)seen You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and glory.
Because Your [f](AC)favor is better than life,
My lips will praise You.
So I will bless You (AD)as long as I live;
I will (AE)lift up my hands in Your name.
My soul is (AF)satisfied as with fat and fatness,
And my mouth offers (AG)praises with joyful lips.

When I remember You (AH)on my bed,
I meditate on You in the (AI)night watches,
For (AJ)You have been my help,
And in the (AK)shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
My soul (AL)clings [g]to You;
Your (AM)right hand takes hold of me.

But those who (AN)seek my [h]life to destroy it,
Will go into the [i](AO)depths of the earth.
10 [j]They will be [k](AP)turned over to the power of the sword;
They will be a [l](AQ)prey for foxes.
11 But the (AR)king will rejoice in God;
Everyone who (AS)swears by Him will boast,
For the (AT)mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.

Prayer for Rescue from Secret Enemies.

For the music director. A Psalm of David.

64 Hear my voice, God, in (AU)my [m]complaint;
(AV)Protect my life from dread of the enemy.
Hide me from the (AW)secret discussion of evildoers,
From the restlessness of (AX)the workers of injustice,
Who (AY)have sharpened their tongues like a sword.
They (AZ)aimed bitter speech as their arrows,
To (BA)shoot [n]from concealment at the innocent;
Suddenly they shoot at him, and (BB)do not fear.
They make firm for themselves an evil [o]purpose;
They [p]talk of (BC)setting snares secretly;
They say, “(BD)Who can see them?”
They [q]devise injustices, saying,
“We are [r]ready with a well-conceived plot”;
For the [s](BE)inward thought and the heart of a person are [t]deep.

But (BF)God [u]will shoot an arrow at them;
Suddenly [v]they will be wounded.
So [w]they [x]will (BG)make him stumble;
(BH)Their own tongue is against them;
All who see them will (BI)shake their heads.
Then all people [y]will (BJ)fear,
And they [z]will (BK)declare the work of God,
And [aa]will consider [ab]what He has done.
10 The righteous person will be (BL)glad in the Lord and (BM)take refuge in Him;
And all the upright in heart will boast.

God’s Abundant Favor to Earth and Mankind.

For the music director. A Psalm of David. A Song.

65 There will be silence [ac]before You, and praise in Zion, God,
And the (BN)vow will be fulfilled for You.
You who hear prayer,
To You (BO)all [ad]mankind comes.
[ae](BP)Wrongdoings prevail against me;
As for our offenses, You [af](BQ)forgive them.
(BR)Blessed is the one You (BS)choose and allow to approach You;
He will dwell in Your courtyards.
We will be (BT)satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Your holy temple.

By (BU)awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, (BV)God of our salvation,
You who are the trust of all the (BW)ends of the earth and the farthest [ag](BX)sea;
Who (BY)establishes the mountains by His strength,
Who is (BZ)encircled with might;
Who (CA)stills the roaring of the seas,
The roaring of their waves,
And the (CB)turmoil of the nations.
They who dwell at the (CC)ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs;
You make the [ah]sunrise and the sunset shout for joy.

You visit the earth and (CD)cause it to overflow;
You greatly (CE)enrich it;
The [ai](CF)stream of God is full of water;
You prepare their (CG)grain, for so You prepare [aj]the earth.
10 You water its furrows abundantly,
You [ak]settle its ridges,
You soften it (CH)with showers,
You bless its growth.
11 You have crowned the year [al]with Your (CI)goodness,
And Your [am]paths (CJ)drip with fatness.
12 (CK)The pastures of the wilderness drip,
And the (CL)hills encircle themselves with rejoicing.
13 The meadows are (CM)clothed with flocks
And the valleys are (CN)covered with grain;
They (CO)shout for joy, yes, they sing.

Praise for God’s Mighty Deeds and for His Answer to Prayer.

For the music director. A Song. A Psalm.

66 (CP)Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;
Sing the (CQ)glory of His name;
Make His (CR)praise glorious.
Say to God, “How (CS)awesome are Your works!
Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will (CT)pretend to obey You.
(CU)All the earth will worship You,
And will (CV)sing praises to You;
They will sing praises to Your name.” Selah

(CW)Come and see the works of God,
Who is (CX)awesome in His deeds toward the sons of mankind.
He (CY)turned the sea into dry land;
They passed through (CZ)the river on foot;
Let’s (DA)rejoice there, in Him!
He (DB)rules by His might forever;
His (DC)eyes keep watch on the nations;
The rebellious shall not (DD)exalt themselves! Selah

Bless our God, you peoples,
And [an](DE)sound His praise abroad,
Who [ao](DF)keeps us in life,
And (DG)does not allow our feet to [ap]slip.
10 For You have (DH)put us to the test, God;
You have (DI)refined us as silver is refined.
11 You (DJ)brought us into the net;
You laid an oppressive burden upon [aq]us.
12 You made men (DK)ride over our heads;
We went through (DL)fire and through water.
Yet You (DM)brought us out into a place of abundance.
13 I shall (DN)come into Your house with burnt offerings;
I shall (DO)pay You my vows,
14 Which my lips uttered
And my mouth spoke when I was (DP)in distress.
15 I shall (DQ)offer to You burnt offerings of fat animals,
With the smoke of (DR)rams;
I shall make an offering of [ar]bulls with male goats. Selah

16 (DS)Come and hear, all who [as]fear God,
And I will (DT)tell of what He has done for my soul.
17 I cried to Him with my mouth,
And [at]He was (DU)exalted with my tongue.
18 If I [au](DV)regard wickedness in my heart,
The (DW)Lord will not hear;
19 But (DX)God has heard;
He has given attention to the sound of my prayer.
20 (DY)Blessed be God,
Who (DZ)has not turned away my prayer
Nor His favor from me.

The Nations Exhorted to Praise God.

For the music director; with stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song.

67 God be gracious to us and (EA)bless us,
And (EB)cause His face to shine [av]upon us— Selah
That (EC)Your way may be known on the earth,
(ED)Your salvation among all nations.
May the (EE)peoples praise You, God;
May all the peoples praise You.
May the (EF)nations be glad and sing for joy;
For You will (EG)judge the peoples with fairness
And (EH)guide the nations on the earth. Selah
May the (EI)peoples praise You, God;
May all the peoples praise You.
The (EJ)earth has yielded its produce;
God, our God, (EK)blesses us.
God blesses us,
[aw]So that (EL)all the ends of the earth may fear Him.

Psalm 62[a]

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

Truly my soul finds rest(A) in God;(B)
    my salvation comes from him.
Truly he is my rock(C) and my salvation;(D)
    he is my fortress,(E) I will never be shaken.(F)

How long will you assault me?
    Would all of you throw me down—
    this leaning wall,(G) this tottering fence?
Surely they intend to topple me
    from my lofty place;
    they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
    but in their hearts they curse.[b](H)

Yes, my soul, find rest in God;(I)
    my hope comes from him.
Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
    he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God[c];
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.(J)
Trust in him at all times, you people;(K)
    pour out your hearts to him,(L)
    for God is our refuge.

Surely the lowborn(M) are but a breath,(N)
    the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance,(O) they are nothing;
    together they are only a breath.
10 Do not trust in extortion(P)
    or put vain hope in stolen goods;(Q)
though your riches increase,
    do not set your heart on them.(R)

11 One thing God has spoken,
    two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,(S)
12     and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;(T)
and, “You reward everyone
    according to what they have done.”(U)

Psalm 63[d]

A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.

You, God, are my God,
    earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,(V)
    my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
    where there is no water.(W)

I have seen you in the sanctuary(X)
    and beheld your power and your glory.(Y)
Because your love is better than life,(Z)
    my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,(AA)
    and in your name I will lift up my hands.(AB)
I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;(AC)
    with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

On my bed I remember you;
    I think of you through the watches of the night.(AD)
Because you are my help,(AE)
    I sing in the shadow of your wings.(AF)
I cling to you;(AG)
    your right hand upholds me.(AH)

Those who want to kill me will be destroyed;(AI)
    they will go down to the depths of the earth.(AJ)
10 They will be given over to the sword(AK)
    and become food for jackals.(AL)

11 But the king will rejoice in God;
    all who swear by God will glory in him,(AM)
    while the mouths of liars will be silenced.(AN)

Psalm 64[e]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint;(AO)
    protect my life from the threat of the enemy.(AP)

Hide me from the conspiracy(AQ) of the wicked,(AR)
    from the plots of evildoers.
They sharpen their tongues like swords(AS)
    and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.(AT)
They shoot from ambush at the innocent;(AU)
    they shoot suddenly, without fear.(AV)

They encourage each other in evil plans,
    they talk about hiding their snares;(AW)
    they say, “Who will see it[f]?”(AX)
They plot injustice and say,
    “We have devised a perfect plan!”
    Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.

But God will shoot them with his arrows;
    they will suddenly be struck down.
He will turn their own tongues against them(AY)
    and bring them to ruin;
    all who see them will shake their heads(AZ) in scorn.(BA)
All people will fear;(BB)
    they will proclaim the works of God
    and ponder what he has done.(BC)

10 The righteous will rejoice in the Lord(BD)
    and take refuge in him;(BE)
    all the upright in heart will glory in him!(BF)

Psalm 65[g]

For the director of music. A psalm of David. A song.

Praise awaits[h] you, our God, in Zion;(BG)
    to you our vows will be fulfilled.(BH)
You who answer prayer,
    to you all people will come.(BI)
When we were overwhelmed by sins,(BJ)
    you forgave[i] our transgressions.(BK)
Blessed are those you choose(BL)
    and bring near(BM) to live in your courts!
We are filled with the good things of your house,(BN)
    of your holy temple.

You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,(BO)
    God our Savior,(BP)
the hope of all the ends of the earth(BQ)
    and of the farthest seas,(BR)
who formed the mountains(BS) by your power,
    having armed yourself with strength,(BT)
who stilled the roaring of the seas,(BU)
    the roaring of their waves,
    and the turmoil of the nations.(BV)
The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
    where morning dawns, where evening fades,
    you call forth songs of joy.(BW)

You care for the land and water it;(BX)
    you enrich it abundantly.(BY)
The streams of God are filled with water
    to provide the people with grain,(BZ)
    for so you have ordained it.[j]
10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
    you soften it with showers(CA) and bless its crops.
11 You crown the year with your bounty,(CB)
    and your carts overflow with abundance.(CC)
12 The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;(CD)
    the hills are clothed with gladness.(CE)
13 The meadows are covered with flocks(CF)
    and the valleys are mantled with grain;(CG)
    they shout for joy and sing.(CH)

Psalm 66

For the director of music. A song. A psalm.

Shout for joy to God, all the earth!(CI)
    Sing the glory of his name;(CJ)
    make his praise glorious.(CK)
Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!(CL)
    So great is your power
    that your enemies cringe(CM) before you.
All the earth bows down(CN) to you;
    they sing praise(CO) to you,
    they sing the praises of your name.”[k]

Come and see what God has done,
    his awesome deeds(CP) for mankind!
He turned the sea into dry land,(CQ)
    they passed through(CR) the waters on foot—
    come, let us rejoice(CS) in him.
He rules forever(CT) by his power,
    his eyes watch(CU) the nations—
    let not the rebellious(CV) rise up against him.

Praise(CW) our God, all peoples,
    let the sound of his praise be heard;
he has preserved our lives(CX)
    and kept our feet from slipping.(CY)
10 For you, God, tested(CZ) us;
    you refined us like silver.(DA)
11 You brought us into prison(DB)
    and laid burdens(DC) on our backs.
12 You let people ride over our heads;(DD)
    we went through fire and water,
    but you brought us to a place of abundance.(DE)

13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings(DF)
    and fulfill my vows(DG) to you—
14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke
    when I was in trouble.
15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you
    and an offering of rams;
    I will offer bulls and goats.(DH)

16 Come and hear,(DI) all you who fear God;
    let me tell(DJ) you what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth;
    his praise was on my tongue.
18 If I had cherished sin in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened;(DK)
19 but God has surely listened
    and has heard(DL) my prayer.
20 Praise be to God,
    who has not rejected(DM) my prayer
    or withheld his love from me!

Psalm 67[l]

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm. A song.

May God be gracious to us and bless us
    and make his face shine on us—[m](DN)
so that your ways may be known on earth,
    your salvation(DO) among all nations.(DP)

May the peoples praise you, God;
    may all the peoples praise you.(DQ)
May the nations be glad and sing for joy,(DR)
    for you rule the peoples with equity(DS)
    and guide the nations of the earth.(DT)
May the peoples praise you, God;
    may all the peoples praise you.

The land yields its harvest;(DU)
    God, our God, blesses us.(DV)
May God bless us still,
    so that all the ends of the earth(DW) will fear him.(DX)

62 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.

He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

63 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

64 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

65 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.

Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:

Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.

They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.

10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.

11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.

12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.

13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

66 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.

Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.

Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.

12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

67 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.

That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
