1(63) A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea. O God, my God, I cry to you early; my soul has thirsted for you: how often has my flesh [longed] after you, in a barren and trackless and dry land!
1Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
2Thus have I appeared before you in the sanctuary, that I might see your power and your glory.
2He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3For your mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise you.
3How 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.
4Thus will I bless you during my life: I will lift up my hands in your name.
4They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and [my] joyful lips shall praise your name.
5My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6Forasmuch as I have remembered you on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on you.
6He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7For you have been my helper, and in the shelter of your wings will I rejoice.
7In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8My soul has kept very close behind you: your right hand has upheld me.
8Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts o the earth.
9Surely 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.
10They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.
10Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11But the king shall rejoice in God ; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
11God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
