Psalms 62

1A psalm of David while he was in the desert of Edom.

Psalmus David, cum esset in deserto Idumææ.

2O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!

Deus, Deus meus, ad te de luce vigilo. Sitivit in te anima mea; quam multipliciter tibi caro mea !

3In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.

In terra deserta, et invia, et inaquosa, sic in sancto apparui tibi, ut viderem virtutem tuam et gloriam tuam.

4For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips will praise.

Quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas, labia mea laudabunt te.

5Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.

Sic benedicam te in vita mea, et in nomine tuo levabo manus meas.

6Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.

Sicut adipe et pinguedine repleatur anima mea, et labiis exsultationis laudabit os meum.

7If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:

Si memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutinis meditabor in te.

8Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:

Quia fuisti adjutor meus, et in velamento alarum tuarum exsultabo.

9My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.

Adhæsit anima mea post te; me suscepit dextera tua.

10But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:

Ipsi vero in vanum quæsierunt animam meam: introibunt in inferiora terræ;

11They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.

tradentur in manus gladii: partes vulpium erunt.

12But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.

Rex vero lætabitur in Deo; laudabuntur omnes qui jurant in eo: quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua.
