Psalm 61.
To the chief musician.
Upon Megana.
A Psalm of David.
Psalm 61 - To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.
Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead
me to the rock that is higher than I.
For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings.
Selah.
For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage
of those that fear thy name.
Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.
He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and
truth, which may preserve him.
So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
Psalm 62 - To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
How long will ye imagine mischief against a man?
ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye
be, and as a tottering fence.
They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight
in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.
Selah.
My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength,
and my refuge, is in God.
Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before
him: God is a refuge for us.
Selah.
Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie:
to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches
increase, set not your heart upon them.
God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to
every man according to his work.
Psalm 63 - A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee,
my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth
shall praise thee with joyful lips:
When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into
the lower parts of the earth.
They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him
shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
Psalm 64
- To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection
of the workers of iniquity:
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot
their arrows, even bitter words:
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do
they shoot at him, and fear not.
They encourage themselves in an evil matter:
privily; they say, Who shall see them?
They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both
the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves:
all that see them shall flee away.
And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they
shall wisely consider of his doing.
The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and
all the upright in heart shall glory.
Psalm 65.
To the chief musician.
A song and song.
Of David.
Psalm 65 - To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.
Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
Iniquities prevail against me: as for
our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee,
that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness
of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our
salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of
them that are afar off upon the sea:
fast the mountains; being girded with power:
Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves,
and the tumult of the people.
They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens:
thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with
the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn,
when thou hast so provided for it.
Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows
thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little
hills rejoice on every side.
The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with
corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
