Psalms 62:1-5

¹A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea.

²O God, my God, I cry to thee early; my soul has thirsted for thee: how often has my flesh longed after thee, in a barren and trackless and dry land!

³Thus have I appeared before thee in the sanctuary, that I might see thy power and thy glory.

⁴For thy mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.

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