Psalm 61

For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by stringed instruments.

1 O God, listen to my cry!
Hear my prayer!2 From the ends of the earth,
I cry to you for help
when my heart is overwhelmed.
Lead me to the towering rock of safety,3 for you are my safe refuge,
a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me.4 Let me live forever in your sanctuary,
safe beneath the shelter of your wings!
Interlude5 For you have heard my vows, O God.
You have given me an inheritance reserved for those who fear your name.6 Add many years to the life of the king!
May his years span the generations!7 May he reign under God’s protection forever.
May your unfailing love and faithfulness watch over him.8 Then I will sing praises to your name forever
as I fulfill my vows each day.

Psalm 62

For Jeduthun, the choir director: A psalm of David.

1 I wait quietly before God,
for my victory comes from him.2 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will never be shaken.3 So many enemies against one man—
all of them trying to kill me.
To them I’m just a broken-down wall
or a tottering fence.4 They plan to topple me from my high position.
They delight in telling lies about me.
They praise me to my face
but curse me in their hearts.
Interlude5 Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
for my hope is in him.6 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will not be shaken.7 My victory and honor come from God alone.
He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.8 O my people, trust in him at all times.
Pour out your heart to him,
for God is our refuge.
Interlude9 Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind,
and the powerful are not what they appear to be.
If you weigh them on the scales,
together they are lighter than a breath of air.10 Don’t make your living by extortion
or put your hope in stealing.
And if your wealth increases,
don’t make it the center of your life.11 God has spoken plainly,
and I have heard it many times:
Power, O God, belongs to you;12 unfailing love, O Lord, is yours.
Surely you repay all people
according to what they have done.

Psalm 63

A psalm of David, regarding a time when David was in the wilderness of Judah.

1 O God, you are my God;
I earnestly search for you.
My soul thirsts for you;
my whole body longs for you
in this parched and weary land
where there is no water.2 I have seen you in your sanctuary
and gazed upon your power and glory.3 Your unfailing love is better than life itself;
how I praise you!4 I will praise you as long as I live,
lifting up my hands to you in prayer.5 You satisfy me more than the richest feast.
I will praise you with songs of joy.6 I lie awake thinking of you,
meditating on you through the night.7 Because you are my helper,
I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.8 I cling to you;
your strong right hand holds me securely.9 But those plotting to destroy me will come to ruin.
They will go down into the depths of the earth.10 They will die by the sword
and become the food of jackals.11 But the king will rejoice in God.
All who trust in him will praise him,
while liars will be silenced.

5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.
