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!
1For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by David. My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.
2Thus have I appeared before you in the sanctuary, that I might see your power and your glory.
2He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.
3For your mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise you.
3How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
4Thus will I bless you during my life: I will lift up my hands in your name.
4They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. 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 in silence for God alone, 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 alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.
7For you have been my helper, and in the shelter of your wings will I rejoice.
7My salvation and my honor is with God. 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, you 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 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.
10They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.
10Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on 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 has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.
