Psalms 62:1-5

¹(63) A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea. O God, my God, I cry to you early; my soul has thirsted for you: how often has my flesh longed after you, in a barren and trackless and dry land!

²Thus have I appeared before you in the sanctuary, that I might see your power and your glory.

³For your mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise you.

⁴Thus will I bless you during my life: I will lift up my hands in your name.

⁵Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and my joyful lips shall praise your name.
