The Psalms, starting at chapter 61
Psalm 61
For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David.
{61:1} Hear my cry, God.
Listen to my prayer.
{61:2} From the end of the earth, I will call to you, when my heart is
overwhelmed.
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
{61:3} For you have been a refuge for me,
a strong tower from the enemy.
{61:4} I will dwell in your tent forever.
I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
Selah.
{61:5} For you, God, have heard my vows.
You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
{61:6} You will prolong the king's life;
his years shall be for generations.
{61:7} He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever.
Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
{61:8} So I will sing praise to your name forever,
that I may fulfill my vows daily.
Psalm 62
For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthan. A Psalm by David.
{62:1} My soul rests in God alone.
My salvation [yeshuah-ti] is from him.
{62:2} He alone is my rock and my salvation [yeshuah-ti], my fortress--
I will never be greatly shaken.
{62:3} How long will you assault a man,
would all of you throw him down,
Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
{62:4} They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place.
They delight in lies.
They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.
Selah.
{62:5} My soul, wait in silence for God alone,
for my expectation is from him.
{62:6} He alone is my rock and my salvation [yeshuah-ti], my fortress.
I will not be shaken.
{62:7} With God is my salvation and my honor.
The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
{62:8} Trust in him at all times, you people.
Pour out your heart before him.
God is a refuge for us.
Selah.
{62:9} Surely 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.
{62:10} Don't trust in oppression.
Don't become vain in robbery.
If riches increase,
don't set your heart on them.
{62:11} God has spoken once;
twice I have heard this,
that power belongs to God.
{62:12} Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness,
for you reward every man according to his work.
Psalm 63
A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah.
{63:1} God, you are my God.
I will earnestly seek you.
My soul thirsts for you.
My flesh longs for you,
in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
{63:2} So I have seen you in the sanctuary,
watching your power and your glory.
{63:3} Because your loving kindness is better than life,
my lips shall praise you.
{63:4} So I will bless you while I live.
I will lift up my hands in your name.
{63:5} My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food.
My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
{63:6} when I remember you on my bed,
and think about you in the night watches.
{63:7} For you have been my help.
I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
{63:8} My soul stays close to you.
Your right hand holds me up.
{63:9} But those who seek my soul, to destroy it,
shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
{63:10} They shall be given over to the power of the sword.
They shall be jackal food.
{63:11} But the king shall rejoice in God.
Everyone who swears by him will praise him,
for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
