Psalmus 62 (63)
Language: Latin
Our translations: FRE
1 [Psalmus David, cum esset in deserto Idumææ.] 2 Deus, Deus meus, ad te de luce vigilo. Sitivit in te anima mea; quam multipliciter tibi caro mea! 3 In terra deserta, et invia, et inaquosa, sic in sancto apparui tibi, ut viderem virtutem tuam et gloriam tuam. 4 Quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas, labia mea laudabunt te. 5 Sic benedicam te in vita mea, et in nomine tuo levabo manus meas. 6 Sicut adipe et pinguedine repleatur anima mea, et labiis exsultationis laudabit os meum. 7 Si memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutinis meditabor in te. 8 Quia fuisti adjutor meus, et in velamento alarum tuarum exsultabo. 9 Adhæsit anima mea post te; me suscepit dextera tua. 10 Ipsi vero in vanum quæsierunt animam meam: introibunt in inferiora terræ; 11 tradentur in manus gladii: partes vulpium erunt. 12 Rex vero lætabitur in Deo; laudabuntur omnes qui jurant in eo: quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua.

O God, thou art my God
Language: English after the Latin
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]1 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.
