061:003 For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.
061:004 I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge
in the shelter of your wings. Selah.
061:005 For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage
of those who fear your name.
061:006 You will prolong the king's life; his years shall be for generations.
061:007 He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever. Appoint your
loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
061:008 So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill
my vows daily.
062:001 <<For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthan. A Psalm by David.>>
My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.
062:002 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress--I will
never be greatly shaken.
062:003 How long will you assault a man, would all of you throw him down,
Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
062:004 They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place.
They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they
curse inwardly. Selah.
062:005 My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation
is from him.
062:006 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.
I will not be shaken.
062:007 With God is my salvation and my honor. The rock of my strength,
and my refuge, is in God.
062:008 Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart
before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.
062:009 Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high
degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up.
They are together lighter than a breath.
062:010 Don't trust in oppression. Don't become vain in robbery.
If riches increase, don't set your heart on them.
062:011 God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power
belongs to God.
062:012 Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward
every man according to his work.
063:001 <<A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah.>> God,
you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts
for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land,
where there is no water.
063:002 So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power
and your glory.
063:003 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips
shall praise you.
063:004 So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands
in your name.
063:005 My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food.
My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
063:006 when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in
the night watches.
063:007 For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow
of your wings.
063:008 My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
063:009 But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into
the lower parts of the earth.
