62:2a O God, my God, * to thee do I watch at break of day.
62:2b For thee my soul hath thirsted; * for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
62:3 In 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.
62:4 For thy mercy is better than lives: * thee my lips shall praise.
62:5 Thus will I bless thee all my life long: * and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
62:6 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: * and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
62:7 If I have remembered thee upon my bed, † I will meditate on thee in the morning: * (8a) because thou hast been my helper.
62:8b And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings: † my soul hath stuck close to thee: * (9) thy right hand hath received me.
62:10 But they have sought my soul in vain, † they shall go into the lower parts of the earth: * (11) they shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
62:12 But 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.
