Psalm 62-63
Darby Translation
To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
62 Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.
3 How long will ye assail a man; will ye [seek], all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?
4 They only consult to thrust [him] down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah.
5 Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.
7 With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
8 Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah.
9 Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together [lighter] than vanity.
10 Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.
11 Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength [belongeth] unto God.
12 And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness; for *thou* renderest to every man according to his work.
A Psalm of David; when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
63 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water:
2 To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary;
3 For thy loving-kindness is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.
4 So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips.
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, I meditate on thee in the night-watches:
7 For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing for joy.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go into the lower parts of the earth;
10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be the portion of foxes.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

Psalm 62[a]
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
1 Truly my soul finds rest(A) in God;(B)
my salvation comes from him.
2 Truly he is my rock(C) and my salvation;(D)
he is my fortress,(E) I will never be shaken.(F)
3 How long will you assault me?
Would all of you throw me down—
this leaning wall,(G) this tottering fence?
4 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)
5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God;(I)
my hope comes from him.
6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and my honor depend on God[c];
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.(J)
8 Trust in him at all times, you people;(K)
pour out your hearts to him,(L)
for God is our refuge.
9 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.
1 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)
2 I have seen you in the sanctuary(X)
and beheld your power and your glory.(Y)
3 Because your love is better than life,(Z)
my lips will glorify you.
4 I will praise you as long as I live,(AA)
and in your name I will lift up my hands.(AB)
5 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;(AC)
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
6 On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.(AD)
7 Because you are my help,(AE)
I sing in the shadow of your wings.(AF)
8 I cling to you;(AG)
your right hand upholds me.(AH)
